The computer only understand 0 ( off ) and 1 ( on ) which is in binary form or machine language .

here the type of language :

low level language : Only computer hardware used .
High level language : Human language .

Generation of Programming Language :

1st Generation: (1950-60) machine language.
2nd Generation: (1961-75) assembly language. 
3rd Generation: (1976-92) high-level programming languages = C, C++, and Java.
4th Generation: (1993-2005) typical high-level programming languages closer to human languages.

5th Generation: (2005-..) used for artificial intelligence and neural networks.
