GCE Computer Science: Program Compilation

What is the first stage of program compilation?

• syntax analysis

• code generation

• lexical analysis

• semantic analysis

Which subtopic involves creating the blueprint of the program?

• program analysis

• program design

• program implementation

• program evaluation

What is the purpose of semantic analysis in program compilation?

• To handle input and output operations in the program.

• To generate machine code for the program.

• To check the meaning and correctness of the program's statements and expressions.

• To optimize the program's performance.

Which stage of program compilation involves generating machine code?

• lexical analysis

• syntax analysis

What is the goal of code optimization in program compilation?

• Reduce code complexity

• Increase code size

• Improve performance and efficiency

• Introduce more bugs

Which subtopic involves breaking down the program into tokens?

• syntactic analysis

• lexical analysis

• semantic analysis

• lexical synthesis

What is the second stage of program compilation?

What is the purpose of code generation in program compilation?

• The purpose of code generation in program compilation is to optimize the code.

• The purpose of code generation in program compilation is to document the code.

• The purpose of code generation in program compilation is to automatically generate executable code.

• The purpose of code generation in program compilation is to debug the code.
