Computer languages are classified into two major categories:


                                                       Computer Languages



                       Low Level Language                                                 High Level Language


                 Low Level Language (LLL)

                 A low-level language is a programming language that is machine dependent. A program
                 written in a machine-dependent language runs only on one particular type of computer.


                 High Level Language (HLL)

                 A High-level language is a programming language that enables a programmer to write
                 programs that are machine independent. These languages are called high-level because
                 they are more like human languages and less like machine languages.
                 The main advantages of high level languages over low level languages is that they are

                 easier to read, write and maintain.

                  i +  SCRATCH

                 Scratch is a software which helps you to understand and create many games. It helps
                 to make the young students learn game creation with ease. There are many versions of
                 Scratch. The latest version is Scratch 3.0.


                  i +  STARTING SCRATCH
                 To start scratch, follow the given steps:

                            2  Scroll and find letter
                           'S' in the program list.                                           3  Click on
                                                                                              Scratch 3.

                     Info Byte


                      Scratch was created by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab.
                      in the year 2007.
