Question

(1) list three uses of analogue computer? (2) what are the main charecterists of supercomputers?(3) what is high-level language?(4) differentiate between interpreter and compiler? very short answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

An analog computer or analogue computer is a type of computer that uses the continuously changeable aspects of physical phenomena

Answer 2

Explanation:

(1) three uses of analogue computer:

- simulating flight control systems

- simulating industrial chemical process systems

- analysing electronic networks

(2) main charecterists of supercomputers:

- ability to perform large amount of computations

- ability to perform complex computations

- high storage capacity

- capability to perform multitasking and multiuser computations

(3) high-level language: a programming language written in user-friendly language like English. For example, C, C++, Java, etc

(4) differentiation between interpreter and compiler:

interpreter translates and executes the high-level program into machine-level code line by line.

compiler only translates the high-level program into machine-level code at a time. It does not execute the code.
