Programming Language Concepts Quiz

What is the role of a translator in programming?

• Convert high-level code to low-level code

• Execute code directly

• Convert code from one programming language to another

• Debug the program

A compiler translates high-level language code directly into machine code.

• True

• False

What does an assembler do in the software development process?

How does an interpreter handle program execution?

• Converts code into machine code

• Directly executes high-level code without converting it to machine code

• Translates assembly language into machine code

• Optimizes the code for performance

High-level languages are designed to be close to machine code and difficult for humans to read.

• True

• False

How does a low-level language differ from a high-level language?

Machine code is directly executed by the CPU without any further translation.

• True

• False

What is the role of assembly code in programming?

What is source code?

• The final machine code

• The original human-readable code written in a programming language

• Intermediate code generated by the compiler
