high-level language

high-level language
A type of computer-programming language. High-level languages are designed to reflect the needs of the programmer rather than the capabilities of the computer. They use abstract data and control structures, and symbolic names for variables. There are a large number of high-level languages; BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, and C are examples.
