71. Prog_Lang - Assembler, Compiler, and Interpreter Quiz

What is the function of an assembler?

• Translates source code from high-level languages into machine code

• Translates source code from high-level languages into object code

• Translates mnemonics and assembly language into machine code

• Translates high-level language into machine code

What is the main advantage of a compiler?

• The code is usually optimized

• The program will always run stopping when it finds the first syntax error

• The program is translated line by line as the program is running

• The speed of execution is faster

What is the main disadvantage of a compiler?

• The code isn't optimized

• The program is translated line by line as the program is running

• The code does not need to be recompiled when the code is changed

• The program will not run with syntax errors which can make it more difficult

What is the main advantage of an interpreter?

• The program will always run stopping when it finds the first syntax error

• The program is translated line by line as the program is running

• The program will not run with syntax errors which can make it more difficult

• The code is usually optimized

What is the main disadvantage of an interpreter?

• The code isn't optimized

• The program will not run with syntax errors which can make it more difficult

• The code does not need to be recompiled when the code is changed

• The speed of execution is faster

What does an assembler do when it translates assembly language?

• Translates labels and variables into memory addresses

• Translates mnemonics and assembly language into machine code

• Translates source code from high-level languages into object code

• Translates high-level language into machine code
