Which of the following is FALSE?

• INTERPRETED programs run slower than COMPILED programs

• ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE is easier to understand than MACHINE CODE

• COMPILED programs are easier to debug

• MACHINE CODE programs are HARDWARE SPECIFIC

High level languages like Python are easy to understand...

• True

• False

Low-level languages like assembly are... (PICK 2)

• Easy to read, understand and modify

• Difficult to understand and modify

• Very simple to understand

• More memory efficient than high-level languages

High level languages like Python...

• Can be run directly from the source code

• Need to be translated before execution

• Are targeted at a specific CPU

• Are difficult for humans to understand

Translates all of the source code into machine code in one go.

• Assembler

• Compiler

• Interpreter

Which of the following are TRUE? (PICK 3)

• Assemblers translate assembly code

• Compilers run one line at a time

• Interpreters are needed every time the program is run

• Interpreters translate one line of code at a time

Assemblers...

• Use lots of memory

• Each command matches one machine code instruction (1-1 relationship)

• Are unsuitable for embedded systems

• Translate high-level code like Python
