4.2 Types of Programming Language, Translators, and Integrated D

Which of the following is an advantage of high-level programming languages?

• Easier to read, write, and debug compared to low-level languages

• Executes faster than machine code

• Directly manipulates hardware without additional tools

• Requires no translation before execution

What is a key disadvantage of low-level languages?

• They are harder to read, write, and debug

• They are slow in execution

• They cannot directly manipulate hardware

• They are independent of machine architecture

What is the role of an assembler in programming?

• It translates assembly language code into machine code

• It translates high-level language into machine code

• It translates one line of code at a time during execution

• It runs and tests programs in an integrated development environment

Which statement correctly describes a compiler?

• It translates the entire program into machine code before execution

• It translates code line by line during execution

• It does not generate an executable file

• It runs only in real-time development environments

What is a major advantage of using an interpreter over a compiler?

• Errors are detected and reported immediately during execution

• The program runs faster after translation

• It generates an independent executable file

• It requires no additional translation process

What is a disadvantage of using a compiler instead of an interpreter?

• Errors are reported only after the entire code is compiled

• It requires the source code every time the program runs

• Execution is slower since code is translated line by line

• It does not generate an executable file

Which of the following is not a common feature of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)?

• Automatically converting a high-level language to assembly code

• Syntax highlighting for easier code readability

• Built-in debugging tools for error detection

• Auto-completion to suggest code while typing

What is the function of the run-time environment in an IDE?

• It allows programmers to execute and test their code

• It translates high-level code into machine code

• It provides auto-completion and syntax highlighting

• It formats the source code for better readability

Which translator type produces an executable file after translation?

• Compiler

• Interpreter

• Assembler

• Debugger

Why is auto-completion a useful feature in an IDE?

• It helps programmers write code faster by suggesting correct syntax

• It executes the code without errors

• It translates high-level language into machine code
