The programming language generations

Generation languages were used to classify the difficulty of understanding of the language. The newer generations of languages have become very simple and easy to understand

1st generation language 

Is the machine language which consist of 0s and 1s, which gives instruction to work on for hardwares such as processors.

2nd generation language 

Also called assembly language which converts the statements into machine language

e.g

ADD 9,16

3rd generation language 

This generation is the "high level" programming language, such as Java , C or C++

A compiler will change this type of language to machine ones.This generation needs a  decent amount of  knowledge in programming.

5th generation language 

Uses visual interface to create source language that is usually compiles with 3GL or 4GL. Microsoft uses 5gl languages to visualize .eg C#

Big Data

Description

Big data is a large volume of data, whether organized or unorganized that is being recorded on a daily e.g business day to day basis. The usefulness of these large data is dependent on the organizers or the ones who have the privileges to use those data.

Manufacturing companies

Data coming from reviewers or many customers, can boost the quality of the manufacturers' products and reduce waste's to minimize the output and maximize their output. That is a key, especially for today's highly competitive market.

Health Care

When data is coming from Patient records, treatment plans and others, and used it very effectively; then they could do things more accurately or sometimes find things that were hidden and could improve the patients care.

Where does it come from?

The sources for big data comes generally from those three categories;

streaming data,social media data and publicly available resources.
