FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry.

Detailed explanation-2: -The third generation of computers was considered from 1965 to 1971. Transistors were replaced by integrated circuits (ICs) in third-generation computers. A single integrated circuit has several transistors, resistors, capacitors, and circuitry. The IC was developed by Jack Kilby.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of the third generation computers include IBM-360 series, Honeywell-6000 series, PDP (Personal Data Processor), and IBM-370/168.

Detailed explanation-4: -Integrated Circuit was introduced with the Third Generation of computers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The high-level programming language was used like PASCAL, FORTRAN, BASIC, C, COBOL, etc. These were smaller in size, cheaper and also efficient as compared to the second generation of computers. The input and output devices were monitors, keyboards, magnetic tape, printers, etc.
