1. What is an editor g g g




g ANS A program that allows you to write code

2. What is a compiler g g g




g ANS A program that produces other programs. The compiler does all the work at once
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




and then runs the new program. We're translating the code we wrote to computer code
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




ll at once. This is often when we produce an .exe(executable) file.

3. What is an interpreter g g g




g ANS A program that runs code one line at a time. Instead ofconverting all of the code
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




at once it runs each line as it's needed. It interprets that specific line from your code to

computer code. g




4. What is an operator and what does it do
g g g g g g g g




g ANS An operator takes two operands (values) and does something with them. It

,is an object capable of manipulating a value. If it is a comparison or logical operator it

would compare to see if they are similar or dissimilar. If it is a mathematical operator it

g would perform mathematicalcalculations.

5. What is an expression g g g




g ANS something that has a value.

6. What is the difference in a terminal and non-terminal expression
g g g g g g g g g




g ANS A terminalis a final value, while a non-terminal can be reduced further.
