A low-level language is closer to the binary a computer understands. Assembly language and some fully-procedural languages are like this. A high-level language is more human-readable and is capable of more complex structure. It needs much more translation and work to be run by a computer. C++, C#, and Java are for sure considered high-level.

A high-level language is a language that is generally more difficult but also more used in a wider range of equipments (such as Java or C++)while a low-level language is the opposite (such as HTML or CSS)
