THIRD GENERATION LANGUAGES

ie imitations of machine language and assembly language led programmers to develop a

ngugge which is machine-independent, resembles English or any other spoken language
nd includes familiar mathematical symbols. These languages are known as Third Generation
inguages (3GLs) or High-level Languages (HLL).
ie instructions written in high-level languages are easy to understand and write. Some examples
high-level languages are FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, PASCAL, C, C++, Java, and so on.
computer does not understand any language other than machine language, so it needs a
anslator which converts assembly language and high-level language programs into
machine
nguage. You will study about different types of translators later in the chapter.

Features of High-level Language

R It is user-friendly. Info Box
R It uses English words and mathematical operators Atranslator is also known
which make iteasy to understand. as language processor.
R It is not dependent on machine. They also identify erors
during the translation.
