How many computer generations and what are they?

Computers can understand only low-level or machine language. If a program is written in another language, the computer converts it into machine language with the help of a suitable translator (assembler, compiler, interpreter) before execution.

The development of computer programming languages ​​is divided into five stages. And this period is called the generation of programming languages.

In other words, the programming language evolution period can be divided into five parts depending on the characteristics of the programming language. These divisions are called a generation.

For example:

For example: All the languages ​​that were discovered from 1945 to 1949 have been given a no. Again, all the languages ​​that were discovered from 1970-1979 have been known or identified by another name.
