Question 5

It is a set of programs that enables you to store, modify and analyze data stored and extract information from a database.

Answer 5

Data Base Management System or DBMS

Question 6

This generation of language is designed to build specific programs, fifth-generation language is designed to make the computer solve a given problem without the programmer.

Answer 6

Fifth Generation Language

Question 7

Solve problems using constraints rather than algorithms, used in Artificial Intelligence.

Answer 7

Fifth Generations Language

Question 8

It is Fast and efficient, consists of only 0s and 1s, difficult for humans to read, write and debug, no translator was used to compile or assemble.

Answer 8

First Generation Language

Question 9

It has simple and mnemonic instructions <opcode> <operands>, assembler translate into machine code, hand coding in assembly only for low level needs.</operands></opcode>

Answer 9

Second Generation Language

Question 10

It is easier for humans to read, write, debug, complier translate into machine code before running, interpreter translates into machine code at runtime.

Answer 10

Third Generation Language

Question 11

Easier for humans to read, write, debug, Supports standard API which are commonly used to create decent programming interface, and has capability to create a large record of Database and access it over a network by the use of Query.

Answer 11

Fourth Generation Language

Question 12

It is a specification intended to be used as an interface by software components to communicate with each other.
An API may include specifications for procedures, data structures, object classes and variables.

Answer 12

API or Application Programming Interface

Question 13

One of the early examples of third generation language which is still used until today.

Answer 13

COBOL
