Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 17RQ
Explanation of Solution
Compiler:
Compiler is a translator used to convert the programs in high-level language to low-level language.
- Compiler is also a
program .- It translates the one instruction in high-level language program into the many machine code instructions. So, the translator of assembler is one to many processes.
- When a program is compiled, it involves six phases of compiler:
- Lexical analyzer
- Syntax analyzer
- Semantic analyzer
- Intermediate code generator
- Code optimizer
- Code generator
Language design depends upon the cost of variety of things.
- The first is the cost of training the programmers in that particular language. It is normally a function of expertise level of the programmers and the writability of the language...
