  • C++ is middle level language because its a combination of low level language and high level language.
  • low level language means machine dependent language and we can only built  system software with the help of low level language like device drivers.
  • High level language is used to build application softwares.
  • so, middle level language is includes low level as well  as high level language. so with use of C++ and C we can build system software as well as application software.
