Programming language generations

Index Programming language generations

Programming languages have been classified into several programming language generations. [1]

24 relations: Ada (programming language), ALGOL, Assembly language, BASIC, C (programming language), C Sharp (programming language), C++, COBOL, Common Lisp Object System, Declarative programming, First-generation programming language, Fortran, Fourth-generation programming language, High-level programming language, Java (programming language), Lisp (programming language), Machine code, Object-oriented programming, Pascal (programming language), Programming language, Prolog, Second-generation programming language, Third-generation programming language, Timeline of programming languages.

Ada (programming language)

Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level computer programming language, extended from Pascal and other languages.

ALGOL

ALGOL (short for "Algorithmic Language") is a family of imperative computer programming languages, originally developed in the mid-1950s, which greatly influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM in textbooks and academic sources for more than thirty years.

Assembly language

An assembly (or assembler) language, often abbreviated asm, is a low-level programming language, in which there is a very strong (but often not one-to-one) correspondence between the assembly program statements and the architecture's machine code instructions.

BASIC

BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.

C (programming language)

C (as in the letter ''c'') is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations.

C Sharp (programming language)

C# (/si: ʃɑːrp/) is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines.

C++

C++ ("see plus plus") is a general-purpose programming language.

COBOL

COBOL (an acronym for "common business-oriented language") is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use.

Common Lisp Object System

The Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) is the facility for object-oriented programming which is part of ANSI Common Lisp.

Declarative programming

In computer science, declarative programming is a programming paradigm—a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow.

First-generation programming language

A first generation (programming) language (1GL) is a grouping of programming languages that are machine level languages used to program first-generation computers.

Fortran

Fortran (formerly FORTRAN, derived from Formula Translation) is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.

New!!: Programming language generations and Fortran · See more »

Fourth-generation programming language

A 4th-generation programming language (4GL) or (procedural language) is any computer programming language that belongs to a class of languages envisioned as an advancement upon third-generation programming languages (3GL).

New!!: Programming language generations and Fourth-generation programming language · See more »

High-level programming language

In computer science, a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer.

New!!: Programming language generations and High-level programming language · See more »

Java (programming language)

Java is a general-purpose computer-programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

New!!: Programming language generations and Java (programming language) · See more »

Lisp (programming language)

Lisp (historically, LISP) is a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation.

New!!: Programming language generations and Lisp (programming language) · See more »

Machine code

Machine code is a computer program written in machine language instructions that can be executed directly by a computer's central processing unit (CPU).

New!!: Programming language generations and Machine code · See more »

Object-oriented programming

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which may contain data, in the form of fields, often known as attributes; and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods. A feature of objects is that an object's procedures can access and often modify the data fields of the object with which they are associated (objects have a notion of "this" or "self").

Pascal (programming language)

Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 1968–69 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. It is named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal. Pascal was developed on the pattern of the ALGOL 60 language. Wirth had already developed several improvements to this language as part of the ALGOL X proposals, but these were not accepted and Pascal was developed separately and released in 1970. A derivative known as Object Pascal designed for object-oriented programming was developed in 1985; this was used by Apple Computer and Borland in the late 1980s and later developed into Delphi on the Microsoft Windows platform. Extensions to the Pascal concepts led to the Pascal-like languages Modula-2 and Oberon.

Programming language

A programming language is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output.

Prolog

Prolog is a general-purpose logic programming language associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics.

Second-generation programming language

Second-generation programming language (2GL) is a generational way to categorize assembly languages.

Third-generation programming language

A third-generation programming language (3GL) is a generational way to categorize high-level computer programming languages.
