FC0-U71 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are examples of…

Which TWO of the following are examples of high-level programming languages? (Select TWO).

⚠ Common exam trap

CompTIA often tests the distinction between 'high-level' and 'low-level' languages, and the trap here is that candidates confuse 'binary' or 'machine code' with a programming language, or think assembly is high-level because it uses readable mnemonics.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Python

Python and Java are both high-level programming languages because they provide strong abstraction from the computer's hardware, using human-readable syntax and automatic memory management. Python is interpreted and dynamically typed, while Java is compiled to bytecode and statically typed, but both allow developers to write code without managing registers or memory addresses directly.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Machine code

    Why it's wrong here

    Machine code is low-level, directly executed by the CPU.

  • ✗

    Assembly

    Why it's wrong here

    Assembly is a low-level language close to machine code.

  • ✓

    Python

    Why this is correct

    Python is a high-level language with strong abstraction.

  • ✓

    Java

    Why this is correct

    Java is a high-level, object-oriented language.

  • ✗

    Binary

    Why it's wrong here

    Binary is the most basic representation of data, not a high-level language.
