Answer:

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.

The IC was invented by Jack Kilby. This development made computers smaller in size, reliable, and efficient. In this generation remote processing, time-sharing, multiprogramming operating system were used. High-level languages (FORTRAN-II TO IV, COBOL, PASCAL PL/1, BASIC, ALGOL-68 etc.) were used during this generation.

Third Generation

The main features of third generation are −

IC used

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

  FILE *read,*write;       //creating file pointers

  int line=1,count=0;

  char ch;

  read = fopen("lorum.txt","r");   //opening files to read and write

  write = fopen("count.txt","w");

  while((ch = getc(read))!=EOF){       //reading lines until end of the file

      if(ch == '\n'){                   //if new line character encountred

          fprintf(write,"%d: %d\n",line,count);       //Then printing count of that line to file  

          line++;                       //incrementing the count of lines

          count = 0;                   //making characters count to 0

      }

      else{

          count++;           //if it is not new line character then increasing character count

      }

  }

  fprintf(write,"%d: %d",line,count);   //writing last lines count to count.txt

  fclose(read);

  fclose(write);

  return 0;

}
