Home > Third generation language

A third generation language (3GL) is a programming language designed to be easier for a human to understand, including things like named variables.

A fragment might be:

let c = c + 2 * d

Fortran, ALGOL and COBOL are early examples of this sort of language.

Most "modern" languages ( BASIC, C, C++) are third generation. Most 3GLs support structured programming.
