1. Machine code is used in which generation of a programming language

3rd Generation

1st Generation

2nd Generation

4th Generation

2. Which language translator is needed for the 1st Generation?

3. Which of these is an example of an application that uses a low level language?

Python for dummies (PFD)

Little Man Computer (LMC)

Java

Scratch

4. Which language translator is used with the 2nd Generation?

Interpreter

Superior Translator

Assembler

Compiler

5. What language translator is used with the 3rd Generation?

Compilers and Interpreters

4th Generation

3rd Generation

Assembler

6. Which generation would create the FASTEST code to execute?

2nd Generation

4th Generation

1st Generation

3rd Generation

7. A fourth generation (programming) language (4GL) is a grouping of programming languages that attempt to get closer than 3GLs to human language, form of thinking and conceptualisation

8. An advantage of low level langauge is:

faster execution time

easier to produce complex websites with low level languages

easier to understand

easier to port and use on different machines

9. An advantage of programming in a high level language is:

Machine-specificity - it can only be used on a single machine therefore ensuring security

Easier for the programmer to code and write (and concentrate on the problem at hand)

Slower execution time which is an obvious advantage in terms of stability

Faster execution time as compared to low level languages

10. What sort of relationship are Low Level Languages said to have with High Level Languages?

One to One (One high level instruction is equivalent to one low level)

One to many (For every high level instruction there are many low level instructions)

Many to One (Many high level instructions translate into one low level instruction)

One to Two (For every high level instruction there are two low level instructions)

Thank you for taking the trouble to report an error!

We will investigate and make the necessary changes.
