- 8Dynamic VariablesA variable that when defined has a lifespan that ends when the sub procedure in which it was defined ends.
- 9Assemblera program which coverts the low level assembly programming language into machine code. Iat uses an opcode and allocates memory to variables resulting in an operand.
- 10Interpretera program that is converts high level language into machine code one line at a time.
- 11Compilera program that converts high level language into machine code. (There are 4 stages in compilation)
