A / An __________ translates assembly language into machine code.

• Translator

• Assembler

• Machine Code

• Compiler

_________ language is a low-level language written in mnemonics that closely reflects the operations of the CPU.

• Python

• Translator

• Assembly

• C++

A / An _________ translates code into machine code, instruction by instruction - the CPU executes each instruction before the ________ moves on to translate the next instruction.

• Interpreter

• Compiler

• Translator

• Answer option 4

________ languages include JavaScript, PHP, Python and Ruby. _________ languages are also called scripting languages. These are ideal for using within dynamic web applications. They are used for client-side and server-side coding, as they are small programs that are executed within the browser.

• Interpreted

• Compiled

• Assembled

• Finished

• Machine

A _______ translates the whole program into machine code before the program is run.

• Translator

• Compiler

• Assembler

• IDE

Why is it hard to debug compiled code?_{this is why u need to debug before compiling smh}

• It can be difficult to test individual lines of compiled code compared to interpreted languages as all bugs are reported after the program has been compiled. Compiling usually takes a long time.

• Compiled code turns it into a low level language and so is harder to understand for humans to debug manually. Low level languages generate more bugs too.

After the compiler has compiled a program into _______ code, The _______ code is saved and stored separately to the high-level code. Compilation is slow but machine code can be executed quickly.

• Machine

• Low level language code

• Python

• Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

  I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

  She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb

  In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

  Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

  Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

  Didn't make sense not to live for fun

  Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

  So much to do, so much to see

  So what's wrong with taking the back streets?

  You'll never know if you don't go

  You'll never shine if you don't glow

  Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play

  Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid

  And all that glitters is gold

  Only shooting stars break the mold
