compiler

Front

-translates high levels into machine code -translates whole program to create an executable file, so doesn't tolerate errors -doesn't need to be installed to run file -can't see source code, so can't copy parts

Back

assembler

Front

converts assembly language to machine code

Back

high level language

Front

eg python, java

Back

low level advantages

Front

-processor-specific, so faster execution -less memory used -programmer has complete control over system components

Back

interpreter

Front

-translates high levels into machine code -one line at a time, will run up to an error -can see source code, open to copying -must have installed to run code

Back

machine code

Front

-directly entered as binary -long time, prone to errors -doesn't need to be translated

Back

low level languages

Front

eg assembly language, machine code

Back

assembly language

Front

-next level up from machine code -short names and symbols, readable -less tedious, less prone to errors -needs an assembler

Back

high level advantages

Front

-easy to learn -faster to code as 1 statement can represent many machine code instructions -easier to read as looks more like natural lang -can be specialised for certain tasks, so efficient eg inbuilt functions

Back

low level disadvantages

Front

-harder to learn -longer to code -harder to debug

Back

high level disadvantages

Front

needs to be translated into machine code using a compiler/interpreter
