PROGRAMMING
LANGUAGES
WHAT IS A
PROGRAMMING
LANGUAGE?
It is the third category of computer software
which is used by programmers to write programs,
scripts, and instructions which can be executed
by a computer.

There is always a similarity between programming


languages, the only difference being the syntax.
GENERATIONS OF
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
FIRST GENERATION
LANGUAGES
1GL are low-level languages that are
essentially written with machine language
code.

Machine language code comprises binary


code, that is, a series of zeros and ones
(0,1).
SECOND GENERATION
LANGUAGES
2GL are low-level assembly languages used in
kernels and hardware drives.

These programming languages were popular in the


late 1950s.

Assembly language uses structured commands in


place of binary numbers allowing us to read the
code easier than looking at binary code.

It uses an assembler to convert language


statements to machine language.
THIRD GENERATION LANGUAGES
3GL are high-level languages like Pascal, C, C++, Java, Basic and JavaScript.

High-level languages are also easier to understand since their code uses some English-
type words.

In order to execute 3GL programs, the source program must be translated to its binary
form using an interpreter or compiler.
FOURTH GENERATION
LANGUAGES
4GL are languages that consist of English-
type statements that are similar to
statements in the human language.

These are used mainly in database


programming and scripting.

Example of these languages include Perl,


Python, Ruby, SQL, MatLab
(MatrixLaboratory).
FIFTH GENERATION
LANGUAGES
5GL are the programming languages
that have visual tools to develop a
program.

Examples of fifth generation language


include Mercury, OPS5, and Prolog.
