Software Types and Operating Systems Basics

Compiler = Provides an error report for the whole code if errors are detected Interpreter = Stops execution when an error is found

Code editors = Allows writing and editing program code Run-time environment = Provides the environment for program execution Translators = Translate code from source to machine language Error diagnostics = Identifies and reports errors in the code

Interpreter = Direct manipulation of hardware Compiler = Hard to read

<p>Auto-completion = Suggests completions for code elements Auto-correction = Corrects syntax errors automatically Prettyprint = Formats code for better readability Code editors = Enables writing and editing program code</p> Signup and view all the answers
