3.2.3 Translating high-level code:

Cards (39)

  • High-level programming languages are designed to be human-readable and focus on problem-solving
  • Match the translation method with its definition:
    Compilers ↔️ Translates the entire program into machine code before execution
    Interpreters ↔️ Translates and executes the program line-by-line
  • Examples of compiled languages include C, C++, and Java
  • Order the steps involved in translating high-level code using compilers:
    1️⃣ Write source code in a high-level language
    2️⃣ Compiler translates the entire program into machine code
    3️⃣ Execute the compiled machine code
  • Interpreters translate and execute code line-by-line
  • Why do compilers result in faster execution speeds?
    The entire program is pre-compiled
  • Compilers translate code into machine code one line at a time.
    False
  • What are high-level programming languages designed to focus on?
    Problem-solving
  • Match the translation method with its characteristic:
    Compiler ↔️ Translates the entire program
    Interpreter ↔️ Executes code line-by-line
  • Compilers require more memory
  • Why is translating high-level code necessary?
    Computers only understand binary
  • Which translation method allows for real-time debugging during execution?
    Interpreters
  • What are the two main methods used to translate high-level code?
    Compilers and interpreters
  • What is the definition of a compiler?
    Translates entire program
  • Match the translation method with its example programming language:
    Compiler ↔️ C++
    Interpreter ↔️ Python
  • High-level programming languages focus on problem-solving rather than machine code.
  • What is the execution speed of code translated by a compiler?
    Faster
  • What does debugging in software development involve?
    Finding and fixing errors
  • Which keyword is used in Python for error handling?
    except
  • What are high-level programming languages abstracted from?
    Low-level machine code
  • Compilers and interpreters are used to translate high-level code into machine code.
    True
  • Why is execution faster with compilers compared to interpreters?
    The entire program is pre-compiled
  • Translating high-level code is necessary because computers only understand binary instructions.

    True
  • What is the primary goal of high-level programming languages?
    Problem-solving
  • Computers can directly execute high-level source code without translation.
    False
  • The choice between compilers and interpreters depends on the programming language and the specific requirements of the application
  • Which translation method uses less memory: compilers or interpreters?
    Interpreters
  • Compilers and interpreters are both used to translate high-level code into machine code.

    True
  • Which translation method is faster in execution?
    Compilers
  • Match the programming language with its translation method:
    C++ ↔️ Compiler
    Python ↔️ Interpreter
  • Interpreters convert source code into machine code before execution.
    False
  • Compilers translate the entire source code into machine code.
  • Match the translation method with its characteristic:
    Compiler ↔️ Faster execution speed
    Interpreter ↔️ Lower memory usage
  • Interpreters translate and execute code line-by-line
  • Compilers require less memory compared to interpreters.
    False
  • Why is debugging easier with compilers?
    Errors are caught early
  • Arrange the following steps in the translation process using a compiler:
    1️⃣ Source code written in high-level language
    2️⃣ Compiler translates code into machine code
    3️⃣ Machine code is executed by the computer
  • Interpreters use more memory than compilers.
    False
  • In Java, structured exception handling uses try-catch blocks.
