If the 1st generation (1GL) represents machine code, the 2nd generation( 2GL) assembler, then with 3GL higher programming languages are designated such as Basic, Visual Basic ( VB), Cobol and Fortran and also high level languages such as the programming language C, C++ and C-Sharp (C#), which are converted over compilers into machine code.
