Integrated development environment

1. Differences of Low & high level code

   • Low level code is understood by the computers but hard to translate for people
   • High level code can be read by people and computers

2. Purposes of a translater

   • To translate high into low level code
   • So the computer can understand simple instructions
   • Translate English into machine code

3. Differences between Compiler, Interpreter and Assemblers

   • Complier
     • Translates the whole program or code at once
     • Takes up less memory and is quicker
     • Hard to modify
     • All errors listed at the end
   • Interpreter
     • Translates the high level code one line at a time
     • Slower to execute than a compiler
   • Assembler
     • Translates Mnenomics
     • (IMP, STA, ADD, SUB)
     • Translates into machine code
