  • a program will execute instructions regardless of what the use does.
  • a program will execute certain instructions based upon the users actions.
  • a program will execute certain instructions based on conditions.

Question 6

Question

Answer
  • Assembler, interpreter & compiler.
  • Assembler, identifier & compiler.
  • Assembler, identifier & interpreter.

Question 7

Question
An interpreter is a translator that converts high level languages into machine code. It does this by...
Answer
  • working three lines at a time, checking syntax, converting to machine code and executing the code.
  • working one line at a time, converting to machine code, checking syntax and executing the code.
  • working one line at a time, checking syntax, converting to machine code and executing the code.
  • working three lines at a time, converting to machine code, checking syntax and executing the code.

Question 8

Question
A compiler is a translator that converts high level programming languages into machine code. It does this by...
Answer
  • working through the whole program (source code), checking the syntax, then converting to machine code and creating an object. The object code is executed not the source code.
  • working through the whole program (source code), then converting to machine code and creating an executable object. The object code is executed not the source code.
  • working through the whole program (source code) one line at a time, checking the syntax, then converting to machine code and creating an executable object. The object code is executed not the source code.
  • working through the whole program (source code), checking the syntax, then converting to machine code and creating an executable object. The object code is executed not the source code.

Question 9

Question
An assembler translator...
Answer
  • converts assembly language programs into machine code.
  • converts programs created in any language into machine code
  • converts programs created in any high level language into machine code

Question 10

Question
Syntax is a set of rules that defines how a program statements must be written in order for the translator to understand them. A syntax error is...
Answer
  • an error in the spelling of program statements.
  • an error in the format of the program statements such as missing keywords.
  • an error in the format of the program statements such as missing semi-colons or keywords spelt incorrectly.
  • an error in the punctuation of program statements.

Question 11

Question
Logic errors in programs are...
Answer
  • errors in program statements that means the outcome is unexpected, even though the program will run.
  • errors in the algorithm that means the outcome is expected, even though the program will run.
  • errors in the algorithm that means the outcome is unexpected, even though the program will run.
  • errors in the algorithm that means the outcome returns nothing as the program will not run.

Answer
  • 2.6
  • "2.6"
  • 26

Answer
  • 26
  • "26.0"
  • 260
  • 2.60

Question 14

Question

Answer
  • hello world
  • "!h3ll0 world4"
  • "hello w0rld
  • h3llo world"

Question 15

Question
What is the main difference between a constant and a variable?
Answer
  • A constant's value remains the same where as a variables value can change.
  • A constant's value only changes if a variables value changes.
  • A constant's value remains the same where as a variables value can be changed by the user.
