We can't even go beyond the third generation. The first generation languages are all the native machine code languages. The second generation languages are the low-level symbolic languages such as assembly language. The third generation languages are all the high-level symbolic languages, such as C, C++, Java, Pascal, Cobol and so on. There are no fourth generation languages. The term "fourth generation" was first used by marketing types to make their third generation languages seem superior to other third generation languages, regardless of what features they actually provided. While there have been several attempts to re-classify third-generation languages, there is no standardised convention and thus no way to compare languages objectively by generation alone. Languages are best classified by the paradigms they support (procedural, structured, object-oriented, functional, logical and so on) and/or the domains they operate within (general purpose programming, artificial intelligence programming, and so on).
Third generation. All high level languages are third generation. Assembly language and low-level symbolic languages are second generation languages. Machine code is the only first generation language. Although some languages have been described as being fourth or fifth generation, the terms have no official meaning (they were originally used by marketing types but are in fact meaningless).
Yes. Both first and second generation languages are machine-dependent. The first generation of languages were machine code, while the second were assembly languages. Non-machine dependency came about with the advent of the third-generation of languages, all the high-level languages.
Programming computers. That is what they were designed for.
Machine code is first generation. Low-level, machine-dependent, symbolic languages such as assembly language are second generation. All high-level, machine-independent languages are third generation. Fourth and fifth generation don't actually have any meaning since there is no "standard" to define these terms, although they are often used to classify specific types of third-generation languages.
First-generation is binary, just zeros and ones, so you can not talk about OOP at this level. The same is true, no OOP, for the second-generation languages, assembly languages. Third-generation languages include C++ and Java, so, YES, you can say that a third generation language can be OOP. Fourth-generation languages can include OOP features, but tipically they are closer to human language and are not intended to be OOP. Fifth-generation languages are used mainly in artificial intelligence research, so, no OOP. More about it you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language.
Each computer generation had different characteristics. The first generation used vacuum tubes, the second used transistors, the third used integrated circuits, and the fourth uses microprocessors. The fifth generation is still developing and will use Artificial Intelligence.
GL acronym stands for the 3rd Generation language like C, C++, Java, etc
There is no such thing as a fourth generation language. Machine code is the first generation (the native language of the computer). Assembly language is the second generation (low-level symbolic language). All high-level (abstract) languages are third-generation. Although some languages claim to be fourth-generation or even fifth-generation, they are meaningless terms used by marketing types that tell you nothing about a language's capability.
All first generation programs are written entirely in machine code. Assembly language is a second generation language. All high-level languages are third generation. There are no official 4th or 5th generation languages; they are terms used by marketing types to make it appear that the latest programming language is superior in some unspecified way. Languages are categorised by their capabilities and paradigms, not by some "generation" tag that has no actual meaning.
1.First Generation Programming LanguageFirst generation of programming language refers to machine language. Machine language is lower level language which uses object code (some times also known as machine code). Object code is the combination of binary digits. These languages directly talk to hardware.2.Second Generation Programming LanguageSecond generation of languages is also low level language which is known as assembly language. Assembly languages are the interface between Machine level languages and High level languages.3.Third Generation Programming LanguageThird Generation programming languages are High level Programming languages like JAVA & C.4.Fourth Generation Programming LanguageThis is the set of current generation programming languages. These languages are similar or closer to human languages.General characteristics of 4GL are:i.Closer to human languagesii.Portableiii.Database supportiveiv.simple and requires less effort than 3GLv.Non proceduralDifferent types of 4 GL are:a. Query Generatorb. Report generatorc. Form Generatord. Application Generatore. GUI Generatorf. Relational Database Manager5.Fifth Generation Programming LanguageLanguages used for writing programs for Artificial Intelligence, Neural Network, Plasma Computing etc. come under 5GL. This is the future of programming language.
The primary feature of third generation computers was their use of integrated circuits.
