2. TOPIC
LANGUAGE
PROCESSORS

3. A Language Processor is a
software program designed or
used to perform tasks such as
processing program code to
machine code. Language
processors are found in languages
such as C++, Java, etc.

6. ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF LANGUAGE
PROCESSORS
ADVANTAGES:
 Modification of user program can be easily made and implemented as
execution proceeds.
 Type of object that denotes a various may change dynamically.

7. DISADVANTAGES:
 The execution of the program is slower.
 Memory consumption is more.

8.  AN ASSEMBLER IS A PROGRAM THAT
CONVERTS ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE INTO
MACHINE CODE. IT TAKES THE BASIC
COMMANDS & OPERATIONS FROM
ASSEMBLY CODE AND CONVERTS THEM
INTO BINARY CODE THAT CAN BE
RECOGNISED BY A SPECIFIC TYPE OF
PROCESSOR.

9. ADVANTAGES OF USING
ASSEMBLER
Very fast in translating assembly
language to machine code.
It is often very efficient because it
is a low level language.

10. DISADVANTAGES OF
USING ASSEMBLER
 Takes a lot of effort to write and maintain the
code.
 It limits algorithm designs.

11. AN INTERPRETER IS A COMPUTER
PROGRAM, WHICH CONVERTS
EACH HIGH-LEVEL PROGRAM
STATEMENT INTO THE MACHINE
CODE. THIS INCLUDES SOURCE
CODE,PRE-COMPILED CODE &
SCRIPTS.

12. ADVANTAGES OF USING
INTERPRETER
 Instructions are executed as soon as they are
translated.
 Errors can be quickly spotted- once an error
is found, the program stops running & the
user is notified at which part of the program
the interpretation has failed.

13. DISADVANTAGES OF
USING INTERPRETER
Interpreted programs runs slowly as the
processors has to wait for each instruction to
be translated before it can be executed.
Interpreters do not optimise code- the
translated code is executed as it is.

14. COMPILER
COMPILER IS A TRANSLATOR
PROGRAM THAT IS USED TO CONVERT
A HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE PROGRAM
INTO MACHINE LANGUAGE. IT
TRANSLATES THE WHOLE PROGRAM
AT ONES AND GENERATES THE OBJECT
CODE ALONG WITH A LIST OF ERRORS

15. ADVANTAGES OF USING
COMPILER
 Compiled programs run quickly, since they
have already been translated.
 Compilers optimise code. Optimised code can
run quicker and take up less memory space.
 A compiled program can be supplied as an
executable file.

16. DISADVANTAGES OF
USING A COMPILER
The source code must be re-compiled every
time the programmer changes the program.
Source code compiled on one platform will not
run on another-the machine code is specific to
the processor’s architecture.
