ICPTP L1: Programming Languages

What is the main function of a compiler?

• Translates assembly language into machine code.

• Translates high level language into object code.

• Translates high level language into machine code.

• Translates machine code into high level language.

Which of the following is a syntax error?

• Misspelling a statement.

• Writing a program that tries to access an array out of bounds.

• Using logical operators incorrectly.

• Unintentionally using the same variable name at different points.

What is the purpose of a translator in programming languages?

• Checks for syntax errors in a program.

• Writes an equivalent machine language program.

• Analyzes and fixes logical errors.

• Identifies and fixes runtime errors.

Which generation of languages is based on solving problems using constraints given to the program?

• Fifth

• Second

• First

• Third

What is the main difference between an interpreter and a compiler?

• Interpreters create object code for later use, while compilers execute the code immediately.

• Interpreters generate error reports after translation, while compilers notify errors and stop further scanning.

• Interpreters translate the entire code at once, while compilers translate one statement at a time.

• Interpreters take less time to analyze the source code, while compilers take more time.

Which of the following is a logical error?

• Division by zero

• Syntax error in the code

• Incorrectly using logical operators

• Trying to access an array out of bounds

What is the purpose of debugging in programming?

• Identifying, analyzing, and fixing errors in the code.

• Translating high level language into machine code.

• Creating object code for later use.

• Checking for syntax errors in the program.

Which generation of languages is hardware dependent and easy to understand and execute?

• First

• Second

• Fourth

• Third

What is the main function of an assembler?

• Translates assembly language into machine code.

• Translates high level language into machine code.

• Translates machine code into high level language.

• Translates high level language into object code.

Which type of language concentrates on what to do rather than how to do it?

• Procedural Languages

• Non-Procedural Languages

• Query Languages

• Artificial Languages
