What was the language used in the first generation computers?
Machine codeAssembly LanguageFORTRANCOBOLetc.There were actually quite a few languages used in the first generation, but most were not standardized and often designed to solve special problems, not general purpose languages.
Is the First Generation Language machine dependent?
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.
What generation language is ruby on rails?
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).
When was first generation language used?
FORTRAN was first used in 1954ALGOL was first used in 1958LISP was first used in 1958RPG was first used in 1959COBOL was first used in 1959These languages survive to the present, but many other languages introduced in this general time period have long since become obsolete.
Can we go beyond the 5th generation programming language please explain why?
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).
What are the significant features of the first generation of programming?
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.
What are example of second generation programming language?
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.
What are the features of a fourth generation languages?
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.
What are the advantages of second generation programming language?
Easier to learn: Second-generation programming languages are easier to learn than first-generation languages. They are closer to human language and are more intuitive
Can generations 1-4 programming languages be object-oriented programming language?
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.
What do you mean by programming language.explain generation of it?
A programming language is a formal set of instructions that allows humans to communicate with computers and create software applications. Programming languages are typically categorized into generations based on their abstraction level: First-generation languages (1GL) are low-level, machine languages that consist of binary code directly executed by the computer's hardware. Second-generation languages (2GL) are assembly languages that use symbolic representations of machine code, making them slightly easier to read and write. Third-generation languages (3GL) are high-level languages like Python, Java, and C++, which provide more abstraction and are closer to human languages. Fourth-generation languages (4GL) are even more abstract, often used for specific tasks such as database queries and report generation, focusing on what to do rather than how to do it.
What are the five languages used in five generations of computers?
The five generations of computers are associated with distinct programming languages that reflect their technological advancements. First Generation (1940-1956): Machine language, consisting of binary code, was used for programming. Second Generation (1956-1963): Assembly language emerged, allowing programmers to write instructions using symbolic representations. Third Generation (1964-1971): High-level languages like FORTRAN and COBOL were introduced, which abstracted hardware details and improved productivity. Fourth Generation (1971-Present): Languages such as C, C++, and Java were developed, focusing on efficiency and modular programming. Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond): Languages like Prolog and Python are used, emphasizing artificial intelligence and natural language processing capabilities.
