Compiler | MCQs

Explanation

 A computer program that translates one program's instructions at a time into machine language is called an Interpreter.

A compiler is a special program that translates a programming language's source code into machine code, bytecode or another programming language.

Examples of interpreted languages are JavaScript, Python, Perl, etc.

Explanation

Hazrat Usman (R.A) is known as Jami-ul-Quran (compiler of Quran).

He was the third caliph of Islam.

Explanation

#include <stdio.h> is a compiler directive used to include the standard input-output library before compilation.

It tells the compiler to insert the contents of the specified file into the program.

Explanation

An Assembler converts programs written in assembly language into machine language.

It translates mnemonic codes into binary instructions the CPU can execute.

Explanation

A linker combines object files and library files into a single executable file.

It resolves references between different modules and links external libraries needed for execution.

Explanation

A compiler is system software that translates the entire high-level language source code into machine-level object code at once.

It checks for errors during translation and produces a separate executable file.

Explanation

A Linker is a computer program that combines object codes (from various source files) into a single executable program.

It resolves references between modules and links library files if needed.

Explanation

Grace Hopper is credited with inventing the first compiler, which she called A-0, in 1952.

Hopper's A-0 compiler was operational on the Univac computer.

Explanation

A compiler translates high-level programming language (like C or Java) into low-level machine code.

It allowing the program to be executed by a computer's processor.

Explanation

A program written in a non-machine language is called source code.

Source code refers to the code written in high-level programming languages like C, Java, Python, etc., which must be compiled or interpreted into machine language for execution by a computer.
