Chpt 10: Program Implementation

What is the main purpose of program implementation?

• To debug a program

• To execute and test a fully developed program

• To write the pseudocode for a solution

• To analyze the problem

Which phase comes immediately before program implementation in the software development process?

• Maintenance

• Program Design

• Testing

• Problem Definition

What is a compiler?

• A program that translates machine code into high-level language

• A program that checks for syntax errors

• A program that translates source code into machine code

• A debugging tool

What is the role of an interpreter in program implementation?

• To execute machine code

• To convert machine code into assembly language

• To translate and execute code line by line

• To create a compiled version of the program

What does a syntax error refer to in programming?

• A logical mistake in the code

• An error in program design

• An error in the structure or rules of the programming language

• An error caused by hardware malfunction

Which of the following best defines debugging?

• The process of optimizing code for faster execution

• The process of finding and correcting errors in a program

• Writing code without syntax errors

• Adding comments to the program

Which tool is commonly used to execute a program after implementation?

• Flowchart

• Debugger

• Code Editor

• Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

What is the purpose of a test case in program implementation?

• To execute the final version of the program

• To define the problem

• To check if the program produces expected results

• To document user requirements

Which of the following is NOT a typical type of program error?

• Syntax error

• Logical error

• Typographical error

• Runtime error

What happens when a runtime error occurs?

• The program does not compile

• The program executes successfully

• The program crashes or behaves unexpectedly during execution

• The output is logically incorrect but the program runs
