fourth generation languages ​​(4GLs) languages ​​mpl de la quatrième génération

Fourth generation languages. New types of programming languages ​​are often called application and code generators because they reduce writing time and allow even non-experts to write and code programs. Using predefined screens and English-like instructions, programmers and beginners can define and design a computer system and any required software.

The main effort is in defining detailed ideas and solutions, which means less time is spent on coding and evaluation. In fact, code generation is almost automated after this stage.

Fourth-generation languages ​​also have prototyping features that allow the user to see what the finished system and programs will look like. Another benefit is the ability to detect potential problems before coding. This is why these languages ​​are called high-productivity languages, because they save a lot of time. Fourth-generation languages ​​are precise and easy to use and learn, and some of them specialize in specific applications. They require computing workers to have a greater knowledge of business and commercial situations than their direct skills in computing. Examples of fourth-generation languages ​​include Applications Factory, Powerhouse, Genesis, and SourceWriter.
Some software packages now use fourth-generation languages ​​for complex tasks such as page layout and design in desktop publishing.
