Machine language is the lowest generation of programming language as it directly corresponds to the instructions that are executed by a computer's hardware. It is represented by binary code, which is difficult for humans to read or write. Assembly language is the next highest generation, followed by FORTRAN, BASIC, and higher-level languages like Java and Python.
