Fifth-generation programming language
open-in-new
<p>A fifth-generation programming language (5GL) is a <a href="/facts/High-level_programming_language/smjECUhx">high-level</a> <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a> based on problem-solving using constraints given to the program, rather than using an <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithm</a> written by a programmer. Most <a href="/facts/Constraint_programming/rgkCK5bD">constraint-based</a> and <a href="/facts/Logic_programming/Xgh8lj3F">logic programming</a> languages and some other <a href="/facts/Declarative_language/gogtdzcJ">declarative languages</a> are fifth-generation languages. </p>
