UNIT - 3 B Intermediate Code Generation Quiz

What is the primary purpose of intermediate code generation in a compiler?

• To translate the high-level language to machine code

• To simplify debugging of the program

• To generate an intermediate representation for optimization

• To provide a user-friendly error message

Which of the following is not a common form of intermediate code?

• Three-address code

• Abstract syntax tree

• Assembly language

• Machine code

Which type checking is done to ensure that an operand and operator are of compatible types?

• Static type checking

• Dynamic type checking

• Contextual type checking

• Semantic type checking

In which of the following scenarios does type checking typically occur in a compiler?

• During syntax analysis

• During semantic analysis

• During code generation

• During optimization

Which of the following is the correct syntax for a boolean expression in a C-like language?

• if a == b

• if (a && b)

• if (a or b)

In a boolean expression, which of the following is a logical operator?

Which of the following is an example of an assignment statement in a high-level programming language?

• a + b = c;

• a = b + c;

• a == b;

• a != b;

What does an assignment statement do in a programming language?

• It compares two variables

• It stores a value in a variable

• It defines a function

• It creates a new variable

Which of the following is a characteristic of switch-case statements?

• They can only be used with boolean values.

• They provide a way to choose among several possible branches based on a value.

• They are faster than if-else statements.

• They can be used only with integers.

Which of the following statements is correct about the use of break in a switch-case structure?

• break ends the entire program execution.

• break terminates the current loop iteration.

• break prevents code from executing after a case is matched.

• break forces the program to exit the function.
