What does high level or low level language mean?

I have heard of languages referred to as high-level, medium-level, and low-level. But what does this mean?

high level language is a human understandable language e.g English, java, c++ or any other language.....and a low level language is computer understandable language e.g 01010100..

@Harshit Sharma that makes sense because in Assembly you actually convert numbers into ASCII characters and you use bytes and bits alot. Thanks!

Computers understand 0 's and 1's but this doesn't make much sense to humans.imagine having to write a program using 0101010101010100101011111(low level language) Highlevel language is human understandable In python print means display something and by looking at it you can understand what it's ment to do
