Chapter 1.5, Problem 20CYU

Explanation of Solution

Tools that support Compilers:

• There are six kinds of tools which supports the work of a compiler within a larger programming environment. The tools are,
  • Interpreter
  • Assembler
  • Debugger
  • Preprocessor
  • Linker
  • Editor.

Interpreter:

• Interpreter is a translator which is used to convert the high-level language and then executes immediately.
• After finding an error, an interpreter immediately stops the execution and it does not proceed to execute the next instruction before clear the error.
• It is easily understanding by the human and it is useful for testing process and is slower to run the program.

Assembler:

• Assembler is a translator which is used to convert an assembly programming language into machine programming language.
• If the assembly code has an error, it may terminate the execution.
• It is more difficult to understand by human and it produces the efficient execution.

Debugger:

• A debugger is a computer program which is used to test and debug other program...
