Module I. Week 3
Lesson 3: Levels of Programming Language
Lesson Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
a. Define and explain the levels of programming language.
b. Make a flowchart containing the levels of programming language.
c. State the importance of the evolution of programming language in your life.

DAY 1
LET’S EXPLORE

Last time, we discussed on the introduction and history of programming. Now, let’s move on to the levels of
programming language. Answer the activity below.
Activity 1. Direction: Below is an AD questionnaire. Write A if you agree and D if you disagree.
___1. Language has its own evolution to make communication easier.
___2. The first generation language was introduced by Jhon Atanasoft.
___3. The second generation language also known as the assembly language.
___4. Fifth generation language solve problems using constraints rather than algorithms, used in Artificial Intelligence.
___5. A fourth generation language may also contain DBMS or Data Base Management System.

LET’S EXPLAIN

For full discussion, read pages 11-18. Take note or highlight the important details.
Generations of Programming Language
 Computers and Machines and they can only understand instructions which are in Machine Language.
 Computer language has paralleled to human language evolution in that it has branched out into many froms
which existed today.
First Generation Language
 Fast and efficient, executed directly on the CPU
 Consists only of 0s and 1s
 Difficult for humans to read, write and debug
Second Generation Language
 Simple mnemonic instructions <opcode><operands>
 Assembler translates into machine code
 Handcoding in assembly only for low-level needs
Third Generation Language
 Easier for humans to read, write and debug
 Compiler translates into machine code before running
 Interpreter translates into machine code at runtime
Fourth Generation Language
 Much easier for humans to read, write and debug
 Compiler translates into machine code before running
 Interpreter translates into machine code at runtime
 Supports standard API which are commonly used to create a Decent Programming Interface, and has
capability to create a large record of Database and access it over a network by the use Of Query

Fifth Generation Language
 Solve problems using constraints rather than algorithms, used in artificial intelligence
 Designed to make the computer solve a given problem without the programmer

DAY 2 and 3
LET’S DEEPEN

In a separate sheet of bond paper, make a flowchart which shows the evolution of programming language. Use
your creativity. You will be graded based on the rubrics below.
Indicators 5 4 3 2 1

The contents are systematic and clearly stated.

The flowchart has an excellent design.

The design and content of the flowchart is relevant to the given topic.

The flowchart is done neatly.

DAY 4
LET’S EVALUATE
Instruction: State the importance of the evolution of programming language in your life.
