- 7Pros and Cons of a Compiler.Pro: runs faster and takes up less memory
Con: harder to modify and debug - 8What is an Assembler?Translates assembly language into machine code.
- 9What is an IDE?An Integrated Development Enviroment is an application that allows a developer to develop and test code.
