Principles of Programming Languages: Chapter 1 Quiz

The main characteristics of a pure interpretation implementation method are: easy implementation, slow execution, and requires more space.

A hybrid implementation system first translates the high-level program to an intermediate code, and then interprets the intermediate code to generate the final machine code.

The main advantages of compilation are fast execution, while the main disadvantage is slow translation of the high-level program to machine code.
