Understanding Programming Languages and Tools

What is the primary function of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)?

• To execute machine code directly

• To provide a comprehensive environment for software development

• To translate high-level language to low-level language

• To manage hardware resources

Which of the following is a feature commonly found in an IDE?

• Hardware management

• Code editor

• Web browsing

• File compression

What is the role of a compiler in programming?

• To execute code line by line

• To convert high-level language into machine code

• To manage memory allocation

• To interpret user commands

Which of the following is a low-level programming language?

• Python

• Assembly

• Java

• Ruby

What is machine code?

• A high-level programming language

• A human-readable code

• A binary code that a computer's CPU can execute directly

• A type of pseudocode

What is a mnemonic in the context of programming languages?

• A type of error in code

• A memory aid for remembering code syntax

• A symbolic name for a single executable machine language instruction

• A type of data structure

Which of the following is a high-level programming language?

• C++

• Machine code

• Assembly

• Binary

What is the main difference between an interpreter and a compiler?

• An interpreter translates code all at once, while a compiler translates code line by line

• An interpreter translates code line by line, while a compiler translates code all at once

• An interpreter is used for low-level languages, while a compiler is used for high-level languages

• An interpreter is faster than a compiler

Which of the following is NOT a feature of an IDE?

• Debugger

• Compiler

• Web server

What is the purpose of a translator in programming?

• To convert machine code into high-level language

• To convert high-level language into machine code

• To execute code directly

• To manage system resources
