Question
Third-generation programming languages (3GL) introduced several programmer-friendly features. Which of the following is NOT typically associated with 3GLs?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
3GLs are high-level programming languages that introduced features like loops, conditionals, and classes. A key characteristic of 3GLs is that they are platform independent, meaning code written for one system can often work on another, unlike 1GLs and 2GLs which are machine dependent.
Hint
Consider what makes a language 'high-level' and its portability across different systems.
