Translators

Why can CPUs only process binary code?

• Because they are designed to interpret high-level languages.
• Because they can only understand complex algorithms.
• Because they are fundamentally simple machines that operate on ones and zeros.
• Because they require a translator for every operation.

Which of the following best describes machine language?

• A high-level language that is easy for humans to understand.
• A low-level language represented in binary code.
• A language that uses mnemonics for programming.
• A language that is only used for web development.

How does assembly language simplify programming?

• By providing a graphical interface for coding.
• By translating code into multiple languages simultaneously.
• By using mnemonics to represent machine code instructions.
• By using complex algorithms to enhance performance.

What is a key advantage of high-level languages compared to low-level languages?

• They are easier for humans to write and understand.
• They can directly manipulate hardware components.
• They are faster to execute on the CPU.
• They require less memory to run.

What is the primary function of a translator in programming languages?

• To compile code into a user-friendly format.
• To execute the program directly on the CPU.
• To debug errors in the code.
• To convert high-level language commands into machine code.

What distinguishes a compiler from an interpreter?

• An interpreter is faster than a compiler.
• A compiler converts the entire code into an executable file.
• An interpreter converts the entire code into an executable file.
• A compiler translates code one line at a time.

Which statement accurately describes how interpreters work?

• They only work with high-level languages.
• They translate code one line at a time.
• They require a separate compiler to function.
• They convert the entire code into an executable file at once.

What is the role of an assembler in programming?

• To convert high-level language into machine code.
• To execute the program directly.
• To convert assembly language into machine code.
• To compile code into a user-friendly format.

Which of the following statements about Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) is true?

• IDEs provide tools for programmers to develop software.
• IDEs eliminate the need for translators.
• IDEs only provide debugging tools.
• IDEs are used exclusively for low-level programming.

What feature is commonly found in IDEs to assist programmers?

• Hardware simulation tools.
• Source code editors and debuggers.
• Only text-based command prompts.
• Automatic code execution without translation.
