Question

Q4Write short notes on each:
i. Assembler
ii. compiler
iii. Interpreter
iv. Linker

Answer 1

1. Assembler: A program for converting instructions written in low - level symbolic code into machine code

2.compiler: A program that convert instructions into a machine-code or lower-level form so that they can be read and executed by a computer

3.Interpreter: interpreter is a computer program that directly executes

4. The linker combines one or more object files and possible some library code into either some executable, some library or list of error message

Answer 2

i. Assembler

→ An Assembler is a program that converts assembly language into machine code.

ii. Compiler

→ A Compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language and turns them into machine language or "code" that a computer's processor uses.

iii. Interpreter

→ An Interpreter translates high-level instructions into an intermediate form, which it then executes. The interpreter, on the other hand, can immediately execute high-level programs.

iv. Linker

→ A Linker is a computer program that takes one or more object files generated by a compiler and combines them into one, executable program.
