Question 1
Consider the following compiler phases and compiler tasks.
Which one of the following correctly matches the compiler phases with their primary tasks?
P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1
P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-3
P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1
Question 2
Which of the following describes a key programmatic difference between the functionality of an Interpreter and a Compiler toolchain?
Compilers execute code step-by-step at runtime, whereas interpreters translate the entire source program before execution.
Interpreters can provide immediate statement-level runtime feedback.
The machine-language target program produced by a compiler is typically 10 to 100 times slower than interpreter execution.
Compilers completely eliminate the need for a runtime environment or stack frame allocation.
