High and Low level languages and translators

What is the main purpose of a high-level programming language?

• To directly control hardware

• To be easy for humans to read and write

• To store large amounts of data

   Which of the following is NOT a high-level programming language?  

• Python

• Java

• C++

• Assembly

  What does a compiler do?  

• Translates high-level code into machine code

• Debugs errors in the source code

• Executes the code line by line

• Manages the computer’s memory

  What is a syntax error?  

• An error that occurs during runtime

• An error due to incorrect logic in the code

• An error that occurs because of incorrect grammar or structure in the code

• An error that results in a program crashing

What type of error occurs when the program does not give any output?

• Logical error

• Syntax error

• Runtime error

• Semantic error

   Which statement best describes a logical error?  

• The code fails to run due to incorrect syntax

• The code runs but produces unexpected results

• The code has incorrect data types

• The code crashes during execution

Which of the following is an example of a low-level programming language?  

• Assembly

• C

• Java

• Ruby

  What does an interpreter do compared to a compiler?  

• It translates the entire program at once before execution

• It translates and executes code line by line

• It converts high-level code to machine code

• It optimizes the code for better performance
