The Machine Level Paradigm
For the sake of completeness we have also discussed the features provided
(or rather not provided) by the Machine Level programming paradigm. They
are listed below :
-
Main inefficiency is the major lack of security
-
Development is at a lower level.
Observation:
May be used for small projects because of its simple structure and
the freedom it provides for program development. Also, it provides for
the lowest possible run-time costs. But the Top Down paradigm offers for
most of these features and also a host of other useful features. Hence,
it is no surprise that it has over-taken the Machine Level paradigm in
almost all fields where it could have been applicable.
