Question

Information about second generation computer . (With points )​

Answer 1

Answer:

A transistor computer, now often called a second generation computer, is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes. ... A second generation of computers, through the late 1950s and 1960s featured circuit boards filled with individual transistors and magnetic core memory

Answer 2

Answer:

• The period of second generation was from 1959-1965.
• In this generation, transistors were used that were cheaper, consumed less power, more compact in size, more reliable and faster than the first generation machines made of vacuum tubes.
• In this generation, magnetic cores were used as the primary memory and magnetic tape and magnetic disks as secondary storage devices.
• In this generation, magnetic cores were used as the primary memory and magnetic tape and magnetic disks as secondary storage devices.In this generation, assembly language and high-level programming languages like FORTRAN, COBOL were used. The computers used batch processing and multiprogramming operating system
