Is the First Generation Language machine dependent?
Yes. Both first and second generation languages are machine-dependent. The first generation of languages were machine code, while the second were assembly languages. Non-machine dependency came about with the advent of the third-generation of languages, all the high-level languages.
What are example of second generation programming language?
Machine code is first generation. Low-level, machine-dependent, symbolic languages such as assembly language are second generation. All high-level, machine-independent languages are third generation. Fourth and fifth generation don't actually have any meaning since there is no "standard" to define these terms, although they are often used to classify specific types of third-generation languages.
What are the features of a fourth generation languages?
There is no such thing as a fourth generation language. Machine code is the first generation (the native language of the computer). Assembly language is the second generation (low-level symbolic language). All high-level (abstract) languages are third-generation. Although some languages claim to be fourth-generation or even fifth-generation, they are meaningless terms used by marketing types that tell you nothing about a language's capability.
What are the disadvantages of fifth generation of language?
The major disadvantage of fifth generation programming languages is that these languages won't be as good as sixth generation languages. It is also important to note that classification of programming languages in generations beyond the second generation is complete nonsense and nothing but a marketing hype; programming languages don't evolve in a linear succession, or one in the shape of a balanced tree, where each generation has common attributes and improvements over the previous generation.
What generation language is ruby on rails?
Third generation. All high level languages are third generation. Assembly language and low-level symbolic languages are second generation languages. Machine code is the only first generation language. Although some languages have been described as being fourth or fifth generation, the terms have no official meaning (they were originally used by marketing types but are in fact meaningless).
