Question

Which of the following system software translate and execute high level language source code, statement by statement ?

• A. Assembler
• B. Compiler
• C. Interpreter
• D. Operating system

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Interpreter

Interpreter Interpreter (ഇൻറർപ്രൈറ്റർ): Translates and executes high-level language source code statement by statement (or line by line) during runtime. If it encounters an error, it stops immediately. Why the other options are different: Compiler (കംപൈലർ): Translates the entire high-level program into machine code all at once before execution. Assembler (അസ്സംബ്ലർ): Translates low-level assembly language into machine code (object code). Operating system (ഓപ്പറേറ്റിംഗ് സിസ്റ്റം): Manages computer hardware and software resources, serving as an interface between the user and the computer hardware.
