I do absolutely agree with MeTh0Dz. C is - and has always been a low-level programming language.

I view C as low-level as well.

Do you understand the difference between a low and high level programming language?

I guess C++ is a High-level language as its easy to understand and uses simple English words in its syntax

A Low-level Language would be Assembly language as its difficult to understand.

Well, before startin out i would like you to read here :: High-level programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and here :: High Level Language.

That c is a low level language is not a widely accepted and obvious fact. It is a hugely debated topic because c is the switch from low to igh level.

All I could do was lol. Assembly is a low level language because it is hard to understand. (LOL) Is brainfuck a low level language?

Lol because C++ it uses simple English words.

How do you claim to know C++ and then say some **** like that?

You fail.

That was written in my School text-book. Now that can't be wrong !

LOL what school do you go to? Someone seriously wrote that the difficulty to read a language differentiates whether it is a high or low level language. That teacher should be shot, and the textbooks burned.

C and C++ have nearly identical syntax.

The distinction between High, Mid, and Low-level languages is fuzzy at best. Syntax is not part of the definition of any of them. I tend to view C and low-mid, and C++ as mid-high, based on feature set. With libraries such as Boost and wxWidgets, C++ slides higher, but can still function as a low-level if needed.
