d)capitalise

e) None of the above

Answer 1

as. None of the above.

Answer 2

Before source code can be compiled, it has to be translated into machine language. Option(e) is the correct answer.

• In order for the computer to run the program, the source code must be translated into machine language (as the computer only understands machine language). Whether the programming language is an interpreted language or a compiled language determines how this translation takes place.
• In a compiled language, the program is translated directly by the target machine. The target machine does not directly translate the source code when using an interpreted language. An alternative program, known as the interpreter, reads and runs the code instead.
• The source code for the program is transformed into a machine language module by a compiler. This object file is combined with other previously compiled object files (in particular run-time modules) by a different specialized program known as a linker to produce an executable file.
