Programming languages have evolved significantly over the years, with each generation building upon the previous one. Here's a brief overview: 1. First Generation (1950s):   Machine language (binary code) - directly executed by computers. 2. Second Generation (1950s-1960s):  Assembly languages (symbolic codes) - translated to machine language using assemblers. 3. Third Generation (1960s-1970s):  High-level languages (HLLs) - compiled or interpreted, abstracted from machine details (e.g., COBOL, FORTRAN, C). 4. Fourth Generation (1970s-1980s):  Very high-level languages (VHLLs) - focused on specific applications, ease of use, and rapid development (e.g., SQL, Prolog). 5. Fifth Generation (1980s-1990s):   Visual programming languages (VPLs) - used visual representations, drag-and-drop interfaces, and automation (e.g., Visual Basic, Delphi). 6. Sixth Generation (1990s-present): Multiparadigm languages - combined different programming paradigms (e.g., object-oriented, functional, scrip

Not all programming languages are machine-independent. Machine independence refers to the ability of a programming language to be executed on different types of computers or machines without requiring significant modifications or recompilation. Machine-dependent  programming languages: These languages are  compiled for a specific processor architecture. Examples include  C, C++, Assembly language Machine- independent  programming languages: These languages   can run on multiple platforms with minimal modifications.  Examples include  Java, Python, and JavaScript.  How machine-independence is achieved? Machine-independent languages achieve m achine-independence  through various techniques: - Interpreters: Execute code directly without compilation (e.g., Python, JavaScript) - Virtual machines: Compile code to an intermediate format that can be executed on any machine supporting the virtual machine (e.g., Java) - Bytecode: Compile code to an intermediate format that can be executed on
