2.5 Languages and IDEs

Machine code is used in which generation of a programming language?

• 1st Generation

• 2nd Generation

• 3rd Generation

• 4th Generation

Which language translator is needed for the first generation?

• Compiler

• Interpreter

• No Translator

• Language Translator

Which of these is an example of a low-level language?

• Delphi

• LMC

• Basic

• C#

Which language translator is used with the third generation?

• Compiler

• Interpreter

• No Translator

• Language Translator

Which generation would create the fastest code to execute?

• 1st Generation

• 2nd Generation

• 3rd Generation

• 4th Generation

Which generation would be easier to program for a programmer?

• 1st Generation

• 2nd Generation

• 3rd Generation

• 4th Generation

An advantage of programming in a high-level programming language is:

• Uses natural language and so can be easier to read/understand

• Useful for device drivers

• The final file size is smaller

• Programs run more quickly at runtime

What sort of relationship are low-level languages said to have with high-level languages?

• One to One (One high level instruction is equivalent to one low level)

• One to Two (For every high level instruction there are two low level instructions)

• One to many (For every high level instruction there are many low level instructions)

• Many to One (Many high level instructions translate into one low level instruction)
