Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 3, Problem 25RQ
Explanation of Solution
Software pure interpreter for operational semantics:
Software made interpreters are basically made and associated with human readable language, i.e. a high level language, using this with the programing language makes it difficult for communication process between hardware and software instructions a program want to perform.
Even the conversion time from high level to low level would be time taking...
