Low-level Language - close in nature to machine language
High-Level language - allows simple creation of powerful and complex programs
Keywords - predefined words used to write program in high-level language
Operators - perform operations on data
Syntax - set of rules to be followed when writing program
Statement - individual instruction used in high-level language
