COMPUTER LANGUAGES
Computer languages which we used to give the instruction to the computer on to develop the
application packages. A computer understands mainly the binary language.
1. First generation Language (or1G Language)
● It is classified into binary or machine language.
● This language is directly understood by the computer.
2. Second generation Language (or 2G Language )
● It is also known as assembly language.
● It is the shortened from of binary language in which symbols are used.
● It is not directly understood when the computer .Assemblers are the programs
used to convert the assembly language program to machine readable form.
3. Third generation Language (or 3G Language)
● It includes computer program such as BASIC, FORTRAN,COBOL,etc that are
quite similar to English like statement.
● It uses either in interpreter*
or compiler**.

*Interpreter is a program or translator which translates line by line high level language
program to machine readable form.
**Compiler is a translator which translates at a time to complete high level program to
machine readable form.

4. Fourth generation Language (or 4G Language)
