"high-level" or "third-generation" languages are like C++ and java and C and fortran and BASIC, etc. with these you tell the computer to do something and it does it. binary code is the "on-off" ("one" or "zero") language the computer reads. assembly is in the middle. it is processor-specific and it tells the computer things like "move this bit here" and "move that bit here" with a syntax slightly more intelligible than: 0100101010000101001010001001001001100010100100100100100101010010010010010010010100110101011010101010010101010011111111111100000010101101000010110100100
you literally tell the processor what bits to move where. the "C" language allows you to integrate this into your code for the sake of speed. this is mainly because people programmed with assembly in the 70's with punchcards and shit. now, processors are so fast that it probably doesn't matter in most situations, but it is important for learning how the computer WORKS.
