• Close to human language

• Direct interaction with hardware

What is the primary advantage of using a high-level language?

• • Faster execution speed

• • More efficient memory usage

• • Easier to understand and write

• • Direct control over hardware

Which generation of programming languages introduced the concept of mnemonic codes?

• • First generation

• • Second generation

• • Third generation

The (a)   language is an example of a first-generation language.

What is the role of a compiler in programming?

• • Executes code directly

• • Translates high-level code into machine code

• • Interprets code line by line

• Optimizes code for performance

Which of the following is a characteristic of a third-generation language?

• • Uses binary code

• • Requires detailed hardware knowledge

• • Is machine-dependent

• Has a syntax closer to human language

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

• • A compiler translates code line by line, while an interpreter translates the entire code at once.

• • A compiler creates an executable file, while an interpreter doesn't.

• • An interpreter is faster than a compiler.

• • A compiler is used for low-level languages, while an interpreter is used for high-level languages.

Which of the following is an example of a second-generation language?

• • C++

• • Java
