- 1.
High-level languages are easier to understand as compared to the machine language. They are generally preferred because they help the programmers to concentrate more on application development without worrying much about the underlying abstraction layers.
- 2.
In Conditional Compilation, source code which does not fullfill the condition is ignored and rest is compiled. Examples of conditional compilation in C are “ifdef” statements. It generally provides a configurability feature to the application development.
