(b )What is meant by 4GL (Fourth Generation languages)?

Features of Fifth Generation of Computers:

1. The fifth generation computers will use super large scale integrated chips.
2. They will have artificial intelligence.
3. They will be able to recognize image and graphs.
4. Fifth generation computer aims to be able to solve highly complex problem including decision making,logical reasoning.
5. They will be able to use more than one CPU for faster processing speed.
6. Fifth generation computers are intended to work with natural language.
