Types of programming languages, translators and IDEs

What is a high-level programming language?

• Is a programming language closer to our native language (English), making it easier to program, read, write, debug(check for error) and mantain.

• Is a programming language closer to machine code, also called assembly language that uses mnemonics for programming.

• Is a programming language closer to our native language (English), making it harder to program, read, write, debug(check for error) and mantain.

• Is an utility program used to translate programs or instructions into machine code(binary code) so that the computer can understand it.

• Is a computer program that translates a program written in an assembly language into machine code so that it can be directly used by a computer to perform a required task

What is a low-level programming language?

• Is a programming language closer to our native language (English), making it easier to program, read, write, debug(check for error) and mantain.

• Is a programming language closer to machine code, also called assembly language that uses mnemonics for programming.

What is an interpreter?

What are assemblers?

• Is a computer program that reads a statement from a program written in a high-level language, translates it, performs the action specified and then does the same with the next statement and so on. If there is an error in the statement then execution ceases and an error message is output, sometimes with a suggested correction.

• Is a computer program that translates an entire program written in a high-level language (HLL) into machine code all in one go so that it can be directly used by a computer to perform a required task. Once a program is compiled the machine code can be used again and again to perform the same task without re-compilation. If errors are detected, then an error report is produced instead of a compiled program.

• Is a computer program that translates a program written in an assembly language into machine code so that it can be directly used by a computer to perform a required task. Once a program is assembled the machine code can be used again and again to perform the same task without re-assembly.

Identify the characteristics of an Interpreter:

• Executes a high-level language program one statement at a time.

• If there is an error on one of the lines, the program will stop and an error message will appear with a suggested correction.

• It uses our native language(English) to make the programming faster to read, write and debug.

• It can be independent of the type of computer that is being used on.

• None of the previous options.

Identify the characteristics of an compiler:

• Executes a high-level language program all at once

• Produces an executable file.

• Can write code that doesn’t take up much space in primary memory.

• Can make use of special hardware

• Produces an error list.

What is the meaning of the acronym IDE?

• Integraded Development Environment

• Internal Development Environment

• Internet Development Environment.

• None of the previous options.
