    HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGE
                      A  high-level language lets programmers

                      write   machine-independent        programs
                      using English-like commands, making  it          Fortran, developed in 1957, was the first high-level
                      easier  to  read  and write  than low-level      language  specifically  designed for  scientific  and
                      languages. It is used to create software for     mathematical computations.
                      different computers and devices.

                      Third Generation Language

                      Third Generation languages use English-like commands, are easier to read and write and are
                      machine-independent with a compiler or interpreter. Examples include C, C++ and Java.

                      Fourth Generation Language

                      Fourth Generation languages focus on what to do, not how to do it. They are faster, easier and
                      closer to human language. Examples include SQL, MATLAB and R.

                      Fifth Generation Language

                      Fifth Generation languages use visual tools and logic-based programming. They aim to build
                      systems that solve problems using Artificial Intelligence. Examples include Prolog, LISP, etc.

                             LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR

                      A language translator converts high-level code into machine language so the computer can run
                      it. The main types are Assembler, Compiler and Interpreter.

                      ASSEMBLER
                      An assembler translates assembly language into machine code (0s and 1s) that the computer
                      can understand and process.

                      COMPILER

                      A compiler translates the entire source code into machine language at once and shows all errors
                      after compilation.

                      INTERPRETER

                      An interpreter translates and runs code line by line, showing errors one at a time, unlike a compiler.

                             PYTHON

                      Python is a simple, readable high-level language used in web development, data analysis, AI
                      and scientific computing. Created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s, it was named after the
                      comedy show Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
