Translator check the program foe error, optimize the code and generate machine language for that program.
Q.49. How does a compiler work?
The compiler check each statement in the source program and generates machine instructions. Compiler also check the syntax error in the program. A source program containing a syntax error cannot be compiled.
Q.50. Why we prefer compiler over interpreter?
The compiler translate the whole program at once and makes an object program. The object program can be executed again and again. However interpreter dose not create the an object program. The program is translated every time in its executed. That’s why compiled is prefer over interpreter.
Q.51. How does an interpreter work?
An interpreter is a program that convert one statement of program into machine language at one time. It execute this statement before translating the next statement. If there is an error in the statement, the interpreter stops working and displays an error message.
Q.52. Write two difference between compiler and interpreter?
The compiler convert the instruction of high level language into machine language as a whole. An interpreter translates instruction of program at one time. The compiler generates object code but compiler does not generate any object code.
Q.53. Name the program written high level language?
The program written in high level language is known as source program.
Q.54. Name the program translated into machine code?
The program translate the machine code is known as object program.
Q.55. Differentiate between source code and object code?
A source code is written by programmer. It is human readable. The code which is generate by compiler from source code is called object code. Computer understand the object cod directly.
Q.56. What is meant by machine independence language?
Machine independence language means that program written in one language can be executed on different type of computers. For example, a program written in C can be executed on Intel processor and Motorola processor.
