17 Questions
What is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task?
Programming
What is the term used for the directions given to a computer, typically called instructions?
Computer Programs
What is the term used for people who write programs?
Programmers
Which type of programming language is machine oriented and requires extensive knowledge of computer hardware?
Low-level language
Which of the following programming languages is directly understood by the computer without the need for translation?
Machine language
What type of notation does machine language use for its instructions?
String of 1s and 0s
What is the main difference between traditional compilation and JIT compilation?
JIT compiler converts parts of the code into machine code on-the-fly as needed, while traditional compilation translates the entire program beforehand
What happens during the intermediate step in JIT compilation?
An intermediate representation (IR) or bytecode is generated
What does the JIT compiler optimize the code for?
The hardware and runtime environment
Which stage directly involves translating the parts of intermediate representation into machine code in JIT Compilation?
Execution
Why do we need a high-level language to low-level language conversion?
To allow the program to run at near-native speed
What does an ATM machine example illustrate about high-level languages?
$100 withdrawal is compared to account balance in high-level languages
What is the process called when a high-level language is translated into machine code dynamically during runtime?
Just-in-Time Compilation
Which of the following terms refers to the translation of high-level code directly into machine code without an explicit assembly language step?
JIT Compilation
In JIT Compilation, when is the high-level code translated into machine code?
During runtime
Which term is used to describe a programming approach where high-level languages are converted to machine code just before execution?
Just-in-Time Compilation
What distinguishes JIT Compilation from traditional compilation methods?
Dynamic translation during runtime
Learn about Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation where parts of the code are converted into machine code on-the-fly as needed. Understand the process from writing high-level code to generating intermediate representation (IR).
