Treehouse TeacherI'm also unsure of which particular question is giving you trouble, but at least two of them revolve around the same idea. High-level programming languages and low-level programming languages. High-level in this sense doesn't mean "more difficult" and the inverse is true for "low-level". When we use these terms we think in terms of the computer hardware/architecture. Lower level languages are closer to what the hardware can understand and humans can't. Higher-level languages are closer to what humans can understand. I hope these hints might help!

Treehouse TeacherI am sorry that the hints weren't enough. Machine code (very low-level language) runs very quickly and has a smaller memory footprint than a high-level language.
