                       (a)                       (b)                         (c)                     (d)

                      Programming is a useful skill for creating things like websites and games. It is a good language for
                      beginners because its simple syntax makes learning easy.

                             COMPUTER LANGUAGES

                      Programming languages are used to communicate with computers through words or characters
                      that describe actions. Writing these instructions is called programming and the people who do it
                      are called programmers.

                          First Generation   Second Generation   Third Generation   Fourth Generation    Fifth Generation
                          Language (1GL)      Language (2GL)     Language (3GL)      Language (4GL)      Language (5GL)

                      LOW-LEVEL LANGUAGE

                      A low-level language is machine-dependent and works directly with a computer’s hardware,
                      giving exact instructions for managing it.

                      First Generation Language
                      The  First Generation of programming  languages or machine  language,  uses  binary  digits  (0
                      and 1) that computers directly understand. It is machine-dependent and works only on specific
                      hardware.

                      Second Generation Language
                      The  Second Generation of programming  languages  or assembly  language,  uses  symbols  or

                      mnemonics (like MOV, ADD, SUB) instead of binary. It is machine-dependent but easier to read
                      and write.
