3GL (or third-generation language) is the type of programming language where the programmer writes instructions that tell the computer what to accomplish and how to do it. Examples of 3GL include C++, Java, and Python. 1GL (machine language) and 2GL (assembly language) are closer to the computer's hardware and are not as user-friendly as 3GL. 4GL (fourth-generation language) is a higher-level language that is more focused on database queries and data manipulation rather than traditional programming tasks.
