WGU C173 SCRIPTING AND PROGRAMMING
FOUNDATIONS (UNIT 8) TEST
Compiled language - ANSWER A programming language which is first
compiled into machine code, and it can subsequently run only on that particular
machine type.
Programs written using the compiled languages tend to run much faster than
that of interpreted ones.
Compiler- ANSWER A computer program specifically developed to read a
whole program and translate it to a lower level language and thus to the
processor assembly language.
Interpreted language - ANSWER A language with no compilation, and
executed directly by some other program.
The other program is called the interpreter, that carries out - or executes-
interprets-, the language statements one line at a time. Interpreted languages
may have a slightly more gentle learning curve because compilation can be
avoided. Such languages are also more portable, running on any machine
having an interpreter.
Scripting language - ANSWER A simple programming language that's limited
to performing a set of specialized tasks.
Interpreter - ANSWER A program that translates a higher-level program into a
lower-level language and executes it, carrying out parts of the program before
the translation of the whole program is complete.
Statistically typed - ANSWER A language whose variable types do not
dynamically change during execution.
