What do you mean by first generation programming language?

Asked by Nirash Soni in Computers & Technology at 9:08 PM on December 21, 2008

Koushik's Answer

The first-generation programming language, or 1GL, is machine code. It is the only language a microprocessor can understand directly. Currently, programmers almost never write programs directly in machine code,[citation needed] because not only does it (like assembly language) require attention to numerous details which a high-level language would handle automatically, but it also requires memorizing or looking up numerical codes for every instruction that is used. For this reason, second generation programming languages abstract the machine code one level.

Example: A function in 32-bit x86 machine code to calculate the nth Fibonacci number.

What are low leveling programming language? can anyone pls tell.?

Asked by Nirash Soni in Computers & Technology at 9:05 PM on December 21, 2008

Koushik's Answer

In computer science, a low-level programming language is a language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's microprocessor. The word "low" refers to the small or nonexistent amount of abstraction between the language and machine language; because of this, low-level languages are sometimes described as being "close to the hardware."

A low-level language does not need a compiler or interpreter to run; the processor for which the language was written is able to run the code without using either of these.

What is abstraction penalty? can anyone pls explain.?

Asked by Nirash Soni in Computers & Technology at 9:01 PM on December 21, 2008

Koushik's Answer

Abstraction penalty is the barrier preventing applying high level programming techniques in situations where computational resources are limited. High level programming features like more generic data structures, run-time interpretation and intermediate code files often result in slower execution speed, higher memory consumption and larger binary size. For this reason, code which needs to run particularly quickly and efficiently may be written in a lower-level language, even if a higher-level language would make the coding easier.

Can u pls tell me what is RSS? and whats the benefit?

Asked by Nirash Soni in Computers & Technology at 8:49 PM on December 21, 2008

Koushik's Answer

Basically, RSS is a standard way of formatting web site information so it can be easily shared with other sites or programs. There are two major uses for RSS right now:

1. Syndication - web sites can easily syndicate (display) content from other sites. If Site A sets up an RSS feed, Site B can easily show the headlines from Site A right there on Site B. This is becoming increasingly common as more and more sites include “Latest Headlines” from various news site.

2. News readers. Also known as feed readers or RSS aggregators, these applications make it easy for people to read news from several different web sites all at once. All you have to do is enter the addresses of the various news feeds that you want, and your reader will harvest that news for you, all in a central program. It can also check for updates for you on a regular basis. This is useful for anyone who wants to keep up on news from various sources.

What is meant by high level programming language?

Asked by Nirash Soni in Computers & Technology at 8:58 PM on December 21, 2008

Koushik's Answer

In computing, a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer. In comparison to low-level programming languages, it may use natural language elements, be easier to use, or more portable across platforms. Such languages hide the details of CPU operations such as memory access models and management of scope. The language used is generally a lot more user-friendly than the language of low-level programming language, as it includes words and numbers recogniseable to humans, and commands are easier to learn. However, low-level programming code has complex forms of binary, which has the ability to tell a machine what to do. The compiler, a feature built in to any programming program, will be able to convert specific high-level language to the more basic low-level language.

A high level language isolates the execution semantics of a computer architecture from the specification of the program, making the process of developing a program simpler and more understandable with respect to a low-level language. The amount of abstraction provided defines how 'high level' a programming language is.

Can india win the second test match against England in mohali?

Asked by Nirash Soni in Cricket & Other Sports at 1:53 PM on December 21, 2008

Koushik's Answer

As we know india did 453 in the first innings and if they bundled out england within 300 runs in the ist innings in the 3rd day, they can start their second innings with a lead if 150 , and if india set a target of 400 to do in the last day, it will be a fair chance of india to win the match.

Is there any difference between a laser printer and ink jet printer, pls suggest .?

Asked by Nirash Soni in Computers & Technology at 8:42 PM on December 21, 2008

Koushik's Answer

Laser printers have good or better resolution to give nice quality print but inkjet creats images by spitting the droplets of ink and having low resolution.Apart from that laser printer is having smoother edges to the font.
