Question

describe the second generation languages? ​

Answer 1

The second-generation computer programming languages are otherwise known as assembly languages. Each of them is specific to a particular processor. There is a one-to-one relation between each assembly language statement and each machine code statement in a second-generation language whereas the third-generation languages have a looser relation between their statements and the machine code statements which correspond to them.

Assembly languages are still used for low-level device drivers in some cases. The more advanced ones have macro processing built-in and consequently are called macro assemblers. However they have by-and-large been superseded by third generation systems programming languages, particularly C, nowadays. So they aren’t much used any more.
