Programming language

Programming language can be defined as the mean of communication between the user and the computer . Computer languages have been continuing to grow and evolve since 1940's .'Programming languages are basically divided into two types-
  1. Low level programming Language
  2. High level programming Language

1.Low level programming language is also divided into two types-

  1. First generation programming language(1GL) 
  2. Second generation programming language (2GL) 

2.High level programming language is also divided into three types-

  1. Third generation programming language (3GL) 
  2. Fourth generation programming language(4GL)
  3. Fifth generation language(5GL)
Explaination types of Low and High level language-
  1. First Generation Languages : These are low-level languages like machine language. 
  2. Second Generation Languages : These are low-level assembly languages used in kernels and hardware drives. 
  3. Third Generation Languages : These are high-level languages like C, C++, Java, Visual Basic and JavaScript. 
  4. Fourth Generation Languages : These are languages that consist of 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).
  5. Fifth Generation Languages : These are the programming languages that have visual tools to develop a program. Examples of fifth generation language include Mercury, OPS5, and Prolog..
