Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of a compiler?

  • To execute machine code directly
  • To detect and correct errors in source code
  • To translate code from one language to another (correct)
  • To provide user interface for programming

    • What are the two main components of a compiler's processes?

  • Scripting and debugging
  • Parsing and execution
  • Front-end and back-end (correct)
  • Designing and testing

    • Why is it difficult to write code directly in binary?

  • Binary uses a complex syntax
  • Binary is only useful for high-level programming
  • Binary code is too fast for processors
  • Binary consists only of 0s and 1s, making it hard to understand (correct)
