Study Notes

Language Translators

The purpose of a language translator is to convert source code from one language to another language, allowing the code to be executed on different platforms.

Compiler vs Interpreter

A major drawback of a compiler compared to an interpreter is that it translates the entire source code into machine code at once, which can be time-consuming and inflexible.

Algorithm Representation

A flowchart represents a graphical representation of an algorithm, which helps to visualize and understand the step-by-step process of the algorithm.

Assembler

The purpose of an assembler in programming is to translate low-level assembly language code into machine code, allowing the program to be executed directly by the computer.

Translator Types

A compiler reads an entire set of instructions written in a high-level language and translates them into machine code at once.
An interpreter reports an error immediately after reading an instruction, allowing for more flexible and interactive debugging.
