Generation of programming languages and language processors

Which level of a programming language is Machine Code?

• Low

• High

Which level would create the fastest code to execute?

• Low

• Assembly

• High

Which level would create the easiest code for humans to understand?

• Low

• Assembly

• High

Machine Code uses mnemonics to represent instructions

• True
• False

A disadvantage of programming in Low Level is

• No technical skill is required
• Needs to be translated before it can be executed
• Difficult for humans to debug

An advantage of programming in High Level is

• Easier for us to understand
• Useful for device drivers
• Programs execute faster than other generations

A disadvantage of programming in High Level is

• A lot of code must be translated before it can be executed
• Difficult to debug
• High level of technical skill is required

Which generation?
