[amp_mcq option1=”Lexical analysis” option2=”Code generation” option3=”Both of the above” option4=”Static analysis E. None of the above” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is: Both A and B.
Lexical analysis is the first phase of the compilation process. It converts the source code into a sequence of tokens. Tokens are the basic units of the source code, such as identifiers, keywords, operators, and constants.
Code generation is the last phase of the compilation process. It converts the sequence of tokens into machine code. Machine code is the set of instructions that the computer can understand and execute.
Static analysis is a type of analysis that is performed on the source code without executing it. It can be used to detect errors, such as type errors and unreachable code.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- Lexical analysis is the process of converting the source code into a sequence of tokens. Tokens are the basic units of the source code, such as identifiers, keywords, operators, and constants.
- Code generation is the process of converting the sequence of tokens into machine code. Machine code is the set of instructions that the computer can understand and execute.
- Static analysis is a type of analysis that is performed on the source code without executing it. It can be used to detect errors, such as type errors and unreachable code.
- None of the above is not a phase of the compilation process.
