First Generation Language

The First Generation Language is a machine language or the level of

instructions and data that the processor is actually given to work on.

Example of First Generation Language :

➢ Assembly code
Assembly code is a low-level language for programming computers. It
implements a symbolic representation of the numeric machine codes and
other constants needed to program a some CPU architecture. This
representation is usually used by the hardware manufacturer, and is
based on abbreviations that help the programmer remember individual
instructions, and registers.

Second Generation Language

The Second Generation Language are not standard languages like C#
and not even fortran and cobol. They refer to assembly languages.

Example of Second Generation Language :

➢ Assembly languages
Assembly languages are programming languages to interface directly
with a CPU. Each CPU comes with its own assembly language and a
'program' writing for one CPU wont run on another CPU. For instance AMD
programs wont run on an Intel. The core of an operating system will be
made up from assembly language.

Third Generation Language

The Third Generation Language is a high-level programming language.
Third generation language aims to refine the usability of the language in
such a way to make it more user friendly. This could mean restructuring
categories of possible functions to make it more efficient and essier.

Example of Third Generation Language :

 ➢ Java Language
Java Language are more of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler
object model and fewer low-level facilities Java applications are typically
compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM)
regardless of computer architecture.

Fourth Generation Language

The Fourth Generation Programming languages are high-level
languages built around database systems. They are generally used in
commercial environments.

Example of Fourth Generation Language :

➢ ABAP
ABAP is a high level programming language created by the German
software company SAP. It is currently positioned, alongside the more
recently introduced Java.

Fifth Generation Language

The Fifth Generation Language is programming that uses a visual or
graphical development interface to create source language that is usually
compiled with a 3GL or 4GL language compiler. Microsoft, Borland, IBM,
and other companies make 5GL visual programming products for
developing applications in Java.

Example of Fifth Generation Language :

➢ Prolog
Prolog is a logic programming language. It is a general purpose language
often associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics. It
has a purely logical subset, called "pure Prolog", as well as a number of
extralogical features.

➢ OPS5
OPS5 is a rule-based or production system computer language, notable as the
first such language to be used in a successful expert system.
