Programming study Guide (ACA I) Pseudocode- is an algorithm that models or resembles a real programming language. (basic Idea) Algorithm- is a sequence of instructions which, if followed, produces a solution to a problem (explains the steps in details) First generation programming language Is written in 0’s and 1’s. It is the language the computer understands Second Generation Programming Language Is written with short codes that suggest their meaning and therefore easy to remember. Assembly language E.G. LDA, STO, ADD, NOP etc. This languages needs to be translated back to machine code using an Assembler Third Generation Programming language (HLL) It uses English words and symbols, and is therefore easier to write Programming languages include: Pascal, Basic, C and Fortran This language need to be translated to machine code with either a compiler or an interpreter. Compiler-converts high level language by bulk (faster) Interpreter – converts high level language line by line (slower) Fourth Generation Programming language Designed to develop commercial business software Uses English like phrases and therefore easier to write It reduces the time taken to write programs It reduces the cost of software development E.g. SQL, Oracle Report, Ms. Access Fifth Generation Programming Languages Designed to make the computer solve the problem for the user
All programming codes are automatically produced the computer
