Questions Notes

What is assembly code? Assembly Code is translated into machine code using an assembler.
High-level Source code is translated into machine code using either:
What are the 2 factors  Interpreter
that source code is  Compiler
translated using? Compiler
 Our code will not run when we have a syntax error
What is a compiler?  We have an error on line 2 which prevents our programs from running
Prin(counter)
What is an Interpreter?  This error needs correcting before the program will run as shown here

List One advantage and Interpreters


one disadvantage of  This is the same program as the one we just saw in Python
Interpreters.  This time, it was written in an early high-level language called BBC basic
 If we run the program on lines 20 and 30 we are both translated and run
 You can see it outputs the value of the counter here

Summary:

Assembly code is translated into machine code using an assembler, while high-level
source code is translated into machine code using an interpreter or compiler.
Compilers have advantages like faster execution, optimized code, and secret source
code. Interpreters have advantages like easy writing, recompilation, and a specific
processor type, but also require translation software at runtime.
