Understanding Translators in Programming

What role does a translator play in programming?

• Protects the source code from errors

• Increases the speed of program execution

• Converts high-level language into machine code

• Translates programming languages into human languages

Which of the following is NOT a type of translator?

• Debugger

• Assembler

• Compiler

• Interpreter

Which of the following is true about machine code?

• It requires further translation to run on a computer

• It is the code executed directly by a computer's CPU

• It can be easily understood by humans

• It is a high-level programming language

What is the primary function of an assembler?

• To compile programs written in high-level programming languages

• To convert assembly language into machine code

• To debug programs

• To interpret high-level language into low-level language

How does a compiler handle errors in the source code?

• Corrects the errors automatically

• Identifies and reports errors after scanning the entire code

• Ignores all errors and compiles the code

• Stops execution at the first error

Which of the following is an example of a compiler?

• LISP

• Python

• Map Macro Assembly Program

• GCC

What distinguishes an interpreter from a compiler?

• A compiler is used for low-level programming languages only

• An interpreter executes code line by line, while a compiler scans the entire program

• Interpreters do not check for errors in the code

• An interpreter translates high-level language into machine code faster

Which language is commonly used with an interpreter?

• C++

• Java

• COBOL

• Python

What happens if an error is found during the interpretation of a program?

• The interpreter rewrites the erroneous code in a correct form

• The interpreter automatically corrects the error and continues

• The interpreter stops at the error and reports it

• The interpreter ignores the error and moves to the next line

What is the main advantage of using an interpreter over a compiler?

• It does not require the source code to be present during execution

• It translates the entire program at once for faster execution

• It makes the debugging process easier by executing code step by step

• It can execute code written in any programming language
