A high-level language(HLL) is a programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal that enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer. Such languages are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages and further from machine languages. In contrast, assembly languages are considered low-level because they are very close to machine languages. For details: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.webopedia.com/amp/TERM/H/high_level_language.html ➡️For this reason, very high-level programming languages are often referred to as goal-oriented programming languages. The term VHLL was used in the 1990s for what are today more often called high-levelprogramming languages (not "very") used for scripting, such as Perl, Python, Ruby, and Visual Basic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high-level_programming_language

Every language which doesn't need to deal with registers. So everything with a higher level abstraction than machine language. So technically c is a high-level language. But it's lower level than Java, because you are able to work with lower levels directly (e.g. memory management)
