In mdrn tm, lw lvl rgrmmng n lngug in whh you hndl mmr mngmnt. An language where tht memory mngmnt or garbage lltn dn fr u, which is nw most lngug, considered "hgh lvl." Lw level rgrmmng bll vrthng tht l to the hrdwr you r runnng your d n. It can have dffrnt mnng dndng n ur target. If u ntrut a building, u always trt wth th fundtn and buld n t f tht. Low lvl development is tht foundation - if u trt with hgh lvl rgrmmng, thn you dn't understand wht' going n underneath.

Th definition of lw level has changed quite a bt n the inception f computer science. One wuld nt ulf C as a low r hgh level language, but rthr more like an ntrmdr language.
