TYPES OF COMPUTER
Mobile Computer
 Laptop-these computer are light weight computer it can
be carried easily. It is usually13 to 15 inch.
 Tabs- are computer which can also carry easily, we can
move the screen by finger act as a mouse.
 Smart phone- smart phone are basically those mobile
computer providing additional features that are required
for performing day to day activities it is similar to tabs, if
we want to type a virutual keyboard come to the screen.
 Embedded computer- are computer which are inserted in
machines like T.V, washing machine and refrigerators.
Mobile computer
 Game console- is an interactive computer used for
entertainment. It is a computer in which we can
play video games.eg-nintendo DS lite, Xbox 360
and microsoft kinnet.
Micro computer
 Minicomputer-They are multiprocessing machines which
can use 200 user at the same time.eg-microVAX3100,
HP2100 and PDP-8
 Mainframes-these are powerful computer that are used by
large organisations and armed forces to perform large task
and manage a huge amount of transactions.It is usually
used in bank.eg- IBM Zseries , IBM 4381 and PDP 10
 Supercomputers- these computers are used for complex
data and high speed of operation performed to process
this data.This computer was used in reasearch centre and
satallite control departments.eg-CRAY 1,CRAY 2 and
PARAM.

PROGRAMING LANGUAGE
First Generation Programming Language (1GL)-
is a grouping of programming languages that are
machine level languages used to program first-
generation computers. Originally, no translator was used
to compile or assemble the first-generation language.
Second Generation Programming Language (2GL)-
A second generation programming language is also
known as an assembly language. These archaic
programming languages were popular during the late
1950s. A second-generation language uses alphabet
letters, so programming is technically easier than just
using complex series of zeros and ones.
Third Genaration Programming Language (3GL)-
Also known as a "3GL," it refers to a high-level
programming language such as FORTRAN, COBOL,
BASIC, Pascal and C. It is a step above assembly
language and a step below a fourth-generation
language (4GL).
Fourth Genaration Programming Language (4GL)-
Fourth-generation language (4GL), Fourth-generation
computer programming language. 4GLs are closer to
human language than other high-level languages and
are accessible to people without formal training as
programmers. They allow multiple common operations
to be performed with a single programmer-entered
command.

Language Processors
 Assembler
 In computer programming, assembly language (or assembler
language), often abbreviated asm, is any low-level programming
language in which there is a very strong correspondence between
the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code
instructions. Because assembly depends on the machine code
instructions, every assembler has its own assembly language which
is designed for exactly one specific computer architecture. Assembly
language may also be called symbolic machine code.
 Interpreter-
An interpreter translates a program one line at a time and execute the
translated instructions before proceeding to the next line.
Compiler-
A compiler transalates a program written in a high level language into
machine language in one go.
