A Level - Stages of Compilation

Creates an executable file

• Interpreter

• Compiler

• Assembler

Must be installed for the code to run on another machine

• Interpreter

• Compiler

• Assembler

The correct order of the stages of compilation is:

• Lexical Analysis, Syntax Analysis, Code Generation, Code Optimisation

• Lexical Analysis, Syntax Analysis, Code Optimisation, Code Generation

• Syntax Analysis, Lexical Analysis, Code Optimisation, Code Generation

• Syntax Analysis, Lexical Analysis, Code Generation, Code Optimisation

Removing whitespace is in:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Code Generation

• Code Optimisation

Token creation is in:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Code Generation

• Code Optimisation

Symbol table is created in:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Code Generation

• Code Optimisation

The code is checked against the rules in:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Code Generation

• Code Optimisation

The syntax tree is created in:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Code Generation

• Code Optimisation

The user will first be alerted to errors found in:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Code Generation

• Code Optimisation

The syntax tree is converted into object code in:

• Lexical Analysis

• Syntax Analysis

• Code Generation

• Code Optimisation
