comp science

• Translator = while the program is running it allows the source code to be understood and turns the high-level code to machine code line by line to run the program.
• Interpreter = reads one instruction at a time, executes that instruction then moves on to the next
• Compilers = read all instructions first, translates them into machine language and stores them as an object file which can be executed later
• Error diagnostics = Helps to find errors in the program and says the location of the error
• code editor = This is where the code is written and contains features such as syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and auto-formatting.
• Syntax Highlighting - The process of color coding different parts of the code based on their function or type.
• IDE (Integrated Development Environment) = An integrated development environment combines various tools like text editors, debuggers, and compilers into one application.
• debugger = A debugger helps identify bugs or errors within your code and provides suggestions on how to fix these issues.
• The advantages of programmers using low-level languages is that they can write code that is more efficient and easier to debug and maintain old code or programs.
• Interpreters are slower than compilers because it takes time to interpret every instruction but they have the advantage of being able to run any programming language with just an interpreter.
