Line 1: {{COI-check\|date=May 2009}} A '''fifth-generation programming language''' (abbreviated '''~~5GPL~~5GL''') is a [[programming language]] based around solving problems using [[Constraint programming\|constraints]] given to the program, ~~instead~~rather ofthan using an [[algorithm]] written by a programmer. Most constraint-based and [[logic programming]] languages and some declarative languages are fifth-generation languages. While [[fourth-generation programming language]]s are designed to build specific programs, fifth-generation languages are designed to make the computer solve a given problem without the programmer. This way, the programmer only needs to worry about what problems need to be solved and what conditions need to be met, without worrying about how to implement a routine or algorithm to solve them. Fifth-generation languages are used mainly in [[artificial intelligence]] research. [[Prolog]], [[OPS5]], and [[Mercury programming language\|Mercury]] are examples of fifth-generation languages.{{Citation needed\|date=September 2010}}
