5. Fourth Generation Languages
Scientists are trying to develop computer languages like human
languages. They have not been successful but may be successful in near
future. These languages have greater built-in facility such as database
query, searching, sorting and interfacing. FoxPro, Cobol, Visual Basic,
MS Access, Oracle Forms and Reports, SQL systems make use of such
programs or languages. These are also known as the Fourth Generation
Languages (4GL).
6. Purpose of Programming
There are several purposes of programming. These are discussed below.
7. Computer program for automated systems
Different offices need different system. So a ready made software is not
enough for this purpose. Special programs should be written for office
automation. These softwares may be used for accounting, payroll
systems, machine control, industrial control, billing system of electricity,
telephone and water, result processing of examination etc. It is important
to develop these softwares properly because the output of the whole
system depends on the output of the computer system.
C++, Mathematica, Math
Lab. etc..
Visual Basic, SQL, ORACLE.
Result Processing.

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
Definition of Programming
Programming is writing instructions for a machine specially a computer.
The machine which works differently according to the instructions given
to it is called a programmable machine. The jobs of these machines are
not fixed. We can change the working plan of the machine by changing
the instructions or programs. Computers are machines that can
understand the instruction and work properly according to the
instructions given.
In short, programming means step by step instructions for solving a
problem by computer.
What is a Language?
The instruction given to the computer must have a particular format.
Computers are unable to understand human language. There are several
levels of format or language which a computer can understand. The
interest of understanding computer languages increases day by day.
History of computer languages is as old as computer science. This is
described in the following sections.
