A Programming Language is a set of commands and syntax used to create a computer program. The various generations of programming languages are:
- First Generation Programming Language — Machine language is the first-generation programming language (1GL). It is made up of binary number 0 (Zero) and 1 (One) so instructions in Machine language are sequences of zeros and ones. It is a low-level language.
- Second Generation Programming Language — Assembly language is second-generation language (2GL). It uses symbolic operations called mnemonics instead of binary digits that can have up to maximum of five letters. Assembly language is also a low-level language.
- Third Generation Programming Language — A third-generation language (3GL) is close to English in vocabulary. These languages are easier to read and require less time to write programs. Third-generation programming languages are high-level programming languages, such as FORTRAN, Java, C, and C++.
