Translators and Computing Languages: GCSE 9-1

What generation of programming language is Machine Code

• 1st Generation

• 2nd Generation

• 4th Generation

• 3rd Generation

What type of language translator is needed for the 1st Generation to the CPU

• Compiler

• No translator needed

• Assembler

• Interpreter

Which of these is a Low Level Language

• Delphi

• Python

• Little Man Computer (LMC)

• Basic

2nd generation to 1st Generation language needs what type of translator.

• An assembler

• Interpreter

• No translator needed

• Compiler

What language translators can be used to translate 3rd to 2nd generation.

• Compiler

• No translator needed

• Assembler

• Interpreter

Which generation is the fastest code to execute.

• 3rd Generation

• 2nd Generation

• 4th Generation

• 1st Generation

What is the easiest to program for a programmer.

• 1st Generation

• 2nd Generation

• 4th Generation

• 3rd Generation

Why would you program in a low level language.

• Easier to understand

• Uses less code

• Makes programs with small file sizes

• Simple to de-bug

One advantage of programming in a high level language is.

• Eliminates bugs

• Easier to understand

• Executes faster than other levels

• Useful for programming device drivers

Define the relationship between low and high level languages.

• One to One (One high level instruction = one low level)

• One to Two (Each high level instruction has two low level instructions)

• One to Many (Each high level instruction has many low level instructions)

• Many to One (Many high level instruction has only one low level instruction)
