first generation as machine language to fourth generation advantage and disadvantage
Answers
Explanation:
The First Generation languages were machine languages. Instructions consisted of binary zeroes and ones. Typically, you input instructions through a front panel of physical switches.
These languages were very primitive and crude. They were extremely tedious to use. They offered no advantages.
The Second Generation languages were assembly languages. They had only one advantage: they weren’t machine language.
Assembly languages were also rather crude and tedious to use.
The Third Generation languages were considered “high-level.” Examples: C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, etc.
Their advantage was that they were easier to use than assembly language and offered high-level abstractions.
The Fourth Generation languages were higher level still. They typically allowed you to operate on large collections of data easily and conveniently. Examples: Clarion, Clipper, Cognos Powerhouse, FOCUS, Informix-4GL, SQL, Wolfram, etc.
Their disadvantage was being stuck in niches. They lacked the general-purpose versatility of Third Generation languages.
The Fifth Generation languages used constraint-based programming. Rather than following an algorithmic solution, they applied a largely declarative style. Like Fourth Generation languages, they found themselves stuck in niches.
Examples: OPS5, Mercury.
There isn’t yet a Sixth Generation language. This would border on AI and natural language processing.
