Fourth Generation Languages (4GL)

Fourth generation language uses English-like statements just similar to the 3GL. But the syntax
of the 4GL is much closer to the human language than 3GL. It is accessible to people without
formal training as programmers. It allows multiple common operations to be performed with a
single programmer-entered command. Programmers spend less time and efforts to code the
programs for the 4GL as they specify what the program should accomplish and not how should
it accomplish.

Fifth Generation Languages (5GL)

A fifth generation programming language is a programming language based around solving
problems using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm written by a
programmer. Most constraint-based and logic programming languages and some declarative
languages are 5GL. It is designed to make the computer solve a given problem without the
programmer. This way, the programmer only needs to worry about what problems need to be
solved and what conditions need to be met, without worrying about how to implement a
routine or algorithm to solve them. 5GL is used mainly in artificial intelligence research.

Some Programming Languages

Let us read to learn about some of the programming languages.

BASIC

The original BASIC was first developed at Dartmouth University by John Kemeny and Thomas

Kurtz and introduced on 1 May, 1964. BASIC is short form of Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic

Instruction Code and is an easy-to-understand programming. Today, BASIC is not used to

develop programs, but is sometimes used to help teach the fundamentals of programming.

Below is an example of a basic program that prints "Hello World!".

Visual Basic France and you do not understand French
Visual Basic a computer programming language, what would you do? You would take the
system developed and owned by help of a translator or you would use sign language to
Microsoft. Visual Basic (VB) was originally communicate with them? Try to learn some
created to make it easier to write
programs for the Windows computer French words and discuss in
