    This document discusses computer programming and programming languages. It defines a computer program as a set of instructions that directs a computer to perform tasks. It then discusses the different levels or generations of programming languages from low-level machine languages and assembly languages to high-level third, fourth, and fifth generation languages. The higher the generation, the more user-friendly and problem-oriented the languages become.

    Computer program (software)


    -Set of instructions that directs the computer to perform tasks.
    -A list of instructions that the computer must follow in order to process data into
    information.

    Application Generator- programmer's tool consisting of modules that have been pre-
    programmed to accomplish various task. Program that creates source code or machine code
    from a specification.

    Programming- a multi-step process in creating a program or list of instruction (also called


    software engineering)

    Programming Language
    -A set of rules that tells the computer what operations to do.
    -A set of words, symbols or codes that enables human to communicate with computers.

    Programmer
    A person who writes or design a computer programs.

    LEVELS OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

    LOW LEVEL- 1ST GENERATION, 2ND GENERATION


    HIGH LEVEL- 3RD GENERATION, 4TH GENERATION, 5TH GENERATION

    First Generation Machine Language (1945)


    ● The basic of the computer, representing data as 1's and O's.
    ● Machine language program varied for computer to computer that is why they were
    machine- dependent.
    ● Only language computer directly recognizes

    Second Generation Assembly Language (Mid 1950)

    A low-level programming language that allows computer user to write program using
    abbreviations or more easily remembered words instead of numbers.

    Third Generation High-Level or Procedural Language (Early 1960)

    ● Resembles human language such as English.


    ● It allows users to write in a familiar notation rather than numbers or abbreviations.
    ● Can be used on more than one kind of computer. that is not machine-dependent unlike
    machine & assembler language.
    ● Familiar languages of this sort is FORTRAN. COBOL, BASIC, Pascal, and C.
    Fourth Generation-Very High Level or Problem Oriented Language (Early 1970s)
    ● Also called Fourth-Generation Languages (4GL)
    ● More user-oriented and allow users to develop programs with fewer commands.
    ● Require more computing power compared to procedural language.

    Fifth Generation Natural Language-Visual Programming Language (early 1980s-present)

    ● Categorized into two types namely - Ordinary Human Language and Programming
    Languages.

    ● Provide a visual or graphical interface, called a visual programming environment for


    creating codes

    ● Allows people to interact with computers without needing specialized knowledge.

    ● People can talk to computers and the voice recognition systems can convert spoken
    sounds into written words, just like taking dictation.
