Lesson 5 - Software Development

A set of symbols that can be interpreted by a computer or piece of software. These are actual programming lines.

• Code

• P-code

• Software

• Object Code

A very low-level code that is machine independent and enables a compiled file to be run on different processor types.

• Code

• P-code

• Assembly Language

• DLL

Strictly a numerical language which is used to directly control a computer's central processing unit.

• Machine Level

• High Level

• Low Level

• Assembly Level

A language that is a complete abstraction of the processor. It resembles human language.

• Machine Level

• High Level

• Low Level

• Assembly Level

A language converted to machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler.

• Assembly Language

• Low Level Language

• Machine Level Language

• High Level Language

A complete library that is added to object code by the linker, for example, .a files in Linux and .lib files in Windows.

• Static Library

• Runtime Library

• Shared Library

• Preprocessor

A Windows Dynamic Link Library which is loaded once during runtime and shared

• SSL

• JVM

• RTE

• DLL

Platform specific machine code which is the product of an assembler or compiler.

• Object code

• P-code

• Code

• Software

In Java, it loads and executes a .class file by translating it to platform native code.

• JVM

• DLL

• RTE

• P-code

A program that is invoked by the compiler as the first part of translation of C code.

• Preprocessor

• return 0

• main function

• Constant
