[amp_mcq option1=”edited code” option2=”object code” option3=”source code” option4=”translated code” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is D. translated code.
A compiler is a program that translates source code written in a high-level programming language into a low-level programming language, or machine code. The source code is a set of instructions written in a language that is easy for humans to understand. The machine code is a set of instructions that is easy for computers to understand.
The compiler first parses the source code, which means it breaks it down into its component parts. Then, it generates the machine code. The machine code is then stored in a file, which can be executed by the computer.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A. edited code is not a term that is used in computer programming.
- B. object code is the intermediate code that is generated by the compiler. It is not the final code that is executed by the computer.
- C. source code is the code that is written by the programmer. It is not the code that is executed by the computer.
