What is the main characteristic of declarative languages?

Describes what computation should be performed and not how to perform it

Code is executed line by line in a programmer-defined sequence

What is syntax highlighting?

A feature that colors code depending on what it does

A method to execute code line by line

What is machine code?

C) The lowest level of programming language directly executed by the CPU

A) A high-level programming language

B) A type of software application

Why is machine code considered high performance?

C) It requires no translation, allowing programs to run very efficiently

D) It is compatible with all CPU architectures

What is a key challenge of writing in machine code?

B) It is difficult to remember and use binary codes for every instruction and piece of data

D) It is not compatible with modern CPUs

Why won't machine code written for one type of processor work on another?

B) Each type of CPU architecture has its own unique machine code instruction set

A) Different processors have different clock speeds

C) Machine code is not compatible with different operating systems

D) Machine code is only used for specific applications

What is Assembly Language?

B) A low-level programming language

A) A high-level programming language

Which of the following is a characteristic of Assembly Language?

B) It uses symbolic names for memory addresses and instructions

C) It is easier to write than high-level languages

D) It does not need to be translated into machine code

What does the Assembly Language instruction $$MOV AL, 61h$$ do?

A) Moves the hexadecimal value 61 into the AL register

B) Moves the value 61 into memory address AL

C) Adds the value 61 to the AL register

D) Subtracts the value 61 from the AL register

Why does Assembly Language need to be translated into Machine Code?

For the computer to be able to execute it

Which of the following best describes the level of machine code?

Lowest level, directly executed by the CPU

Low-level, but more abstract than machine code

High-level, used for application development

Mid-level, used for system programming

How is the readability of machine code generally described?

Extremely difficult to read (binary)

Easier to read (mnemonics and labels)

Similar to high-level languages

Which of the following is true about the efficiency of machine code?

Highly efficient, no translation needed

Efficient, but requires translation by an assembler

Less efficient than high-level languages

Requires optimization to be efficient

What is a typical use case for assembly language?

Used by programmers for low-level hardware control and optimization

Rarely used directly by programmers

Used for developing web applications

Used for high-level application development

Which of the following statements is true about the platform dependence of machine code?

Specific to a particular CPU architecture

Can run on any operating system

Requires a virtual machine to execute

What is the ease of use of assembly language compared to machine code?

Easier for humans to write and debug

Difficult for humans to write and debug

Similar difficulty as machine code

Which generation of code is represented by the example "LDA 34, ADD #1, STO 34"?

Second generation (LOW Assembly Code)

First generation (LOW Machine Code)

Third generation (HIGH Visual Basic, C, Python etc.)

Fourth generation (HIGH SQL, CSS, Haskell etc.)

What is one of the advantages of 3rd Generation programming languages?

Easier to find errors and debug

Harder to understand for programmers

Requires more machine code instructions

Translated using only assemblers

How are 3rd Generation programming languages translated?

Using compilers and interpreters

What does one instruction in a 3rd Generation programming language translate into?

Many assembly code instructions

What does a 4th Generation language describe?

What computation should be performed

How computation should be performed

Both how and what computation should be performed

Neither how nor what computation should be performed

Which of the following is a characteristic of 4th Generation languages?

Requires detailed procedural steps
