Translators Flashcards

A program that converts high-level or low-level code into machine code.

To convert code written by programmers into machine code that can be executed by the CPU.

A programming language that is human-readable and abstracted from machine code.

A programming language that is closer to machine code, such as assembly language.

A translator that converts the entire high-level program into machine code before execution.

A translator that converts and executes high-level code line by line.

Produces an executable file, faster execution after compilation, and protects source code.

Errors are only identified after the entire program is compiled, and recompilation is needed for changes.

Errors are identified immediately during execution, and no need for recompilation after changes.

Slower execution as code is translated line by line, and source code is not protected.
