Ch 01 Computer Language

Answer the following questions (Class 6 Computer):

Question 1 What do you mean by Computer language ?

Answer : A computer language is a language using which we can communicate with the computer. It is a programming language which is a set of codes used to give instructions to the system. There are various types of computer languages like Machine language, Assembly Language, High Level language and Fourth generation language.

Question 2 Name various types of Computer languages in details ?

Answer : The various types of computer languages are explained below:

• Machine Language: A machine language is a binary language which consists of 0 and 1. This language is easily understood by computer because computer can recognize electric signals. So, 0 represents Off electric pulse and 1 represents On electric pulse.
• Assembly Language: Assembly language uses mnemonic codes or symbols instead of binary language. There is a need of assembler to convert assembly code to machine code.
• High Level Language: High level language uses simple English words or operators for coding. There is a need of translator to convert high level language code to machine code. For this, you can use any of the two translators: Compiler and Interpreter.

Question 3 What is high level Computer Language ?

Answer : A high level computer language is a human friendly language because it uses simple English words and operators for coding. It is a machine independent language and needs a translator to convert the code to machine code so that a computer can understand it. There are two types of translators available for this: Compiler and Interpreter.

Question 4 Differentiate between an Interpreter and a Compiler ?

Answer : The difference between Interpreter and Compiler are given below:

Interpreter :

• An interpreter is a computer program that directly executes the instructions, which are written in the scripting or programming language. Humans can understand only the high-level language, which is called source code. Whereas, computers only understand the binary language.
• Interpreter converts the high level programming code to machine code by taking one line at a time.

Compiler :

• A compiler is a special program that translates a programming language’s source code into machine code, bytecode or another programming language.
• Compiler converts the high level programming code to machine code by taking whole program at once.
