THIRD GENERATION LANGUAGE

Domain	Definition
Computing	Third generation language (3GL, "high level language") A language designed to be easier for a human to understand, including things like named variables. A fragment might be let c = c + 2 * d Fortran, ALGOL and COBOL are early examples of this sort of language. Most "modern" languages (BASIC, C, C++) are third generation. Most 3GLs support structured programming. See also second generation language, fourth generation language. (1996-05-30). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.

A third generation language (3GL) is a programming language designed to be easier for a human to understand, including things like named variables. A fragment might be:

let c = c + 2 * d

Fortran, ALGOL and COBOL are early examples of this sort of language. Most "modern" languages (BASIC, C, C++) are third generation. Most 3GLs support structured programming. This article, or earlier versions of it, include or included material from FOLDOC, used by Wikipedia with permission.
