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: -Detailed Solution. SSI and MSI IC was used in third generation of computers. SSI, MSI, The first integrated circuits contained only a few transistors and so were called “Small-Scale Integration (SSI).
Detailed explanation-3: -Integrated Circuit was introduced with the Third Generation of computers.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Third Generation ( 1965-1980 ): Integrated Circuits and Multiprogramming. Two types of computer systems were invented during this time ( 1965-1980 ), these are a scientific calculator and a commercial calculator. Both these systems were combined in the system/360 by a company named IBM.
Detailed explanation-5: -Third generation languages (3GLs). Some examples of 3GLs are BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, Fortran, C, C++, Perl and Ada. One of the latest languages to hit the market is called JAVA.
