Programming Languages

• Assembly Language

  • Second generation language that replaced binary digits with symbols programmers could more easily understand.

• Third Generation Languages

  • Continued trend to more symbolic code (e.g. COBOL)

• Fourth Generation Languages (4GLs)

  • Languages that are less procedural and even more English-like than third-generation languages (e.g. FOCUS)
