Third-generation programming language
From DocForge
A third-generation programming language is one which is easier for a human to read compared to second-generation programming languages. A key feature is that third-generation languages add a layer of abstraction from the processor, so specific processor instructions are not needed. Instead of providing every individual instruction a processor must take, a programmer can provide more generic functionality which is later assembled into granular processor instructions.
Other features of third-generation programming languages include named variables and abstract data types.
