Interpreters, Compilers, and Assemblers Quiz

Which of the following translates high-level programming code to machine code all at once before execution?

• Interpreter

• Compiler

• Linker

• Runtime environment

An interpreter:

• Converts high-level code to machine code and executes it line by line

• Converts assembly language to machine code

• Optimizes compiled code for better performance

• Verifies code syntax without executing it

Which statement is true about assemblers?

• They translate high-level languages to machine code

• They convert assembly language to machine code

• They interpret code line by line during execution

• They translate machine code to high-level languages

Which of the following is a characteristic of high-level programming languages?

• Directly manipulates hardware components

• Hardware independent and portable

• One-to-one correspondence with machine instructions

• Uses memory addresses extensively

Low-level programming languages include:

• Java and Python

• Assembly language and machine code

• C++ and C#

• JavaScript and Ruby

Which of the following is an advantage of low-level languages?

• Easier to learn and use

• Greater control over hardware resources

• Platform independence

• Faster development time

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is responsible for:

• Storing data permanently

• Executing instructions and performing calculations

• Rendering graphics

• Managing network connections

Which component of the CPU performs mathematical and logical operations?

• Control Unit

• Cache

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)

• Registers

The Control Unit is responsible for:

• Performing arithmetic operations

• Directing the operation of the processor

• Storing data temporarily

• Managing the flow of data between the CPU and peripherals

CPU registers are:

• Secondary storage devices

• Small, high-speed storage locations within the CPU

• Input/output devices

• Components that regulate the CPU's power consumption
