Advantages of algorithmic languages ​​over machine

The main advantages are:

• the alphabet of an algorithmic language is much wider than the alphabet of a machine language , which significantly improves the visibility of the program text;
• the set of operations allowed for use does not depend on the set of machine operations , but is chosen for reasons of convenience in formulating algorithms for solving problems of a particular class;
• the format of sentences is quite flexible and convenient to use, which allows using a single sentence to specify a sufficiently informative stage of data processing;
• the required operations are specified using the generally accepted mathematical notation ;
• given in algorithmic languages ​​are assigned individual names chosen by the programmer;
• A language can have a significantly wider set of data types compared to a set of machine data types.

Thus, algorithmic languages ​​are largely machine-independent . They facilitate the work of the programmer and increase the reliability of the created programs .
