Q

Advantages of compilers

A

Performance (2 marks):

Compiled code generally runs faster than interpreted code because it is translated into machine code that the processor can execute directly, without the need for further translation at runtime.
Error Checking (1 mark):

Compilation involves a thorough check of the entire code for errors before execution. This allows many syntax and semantic errors to be caught early, reducing the likelihood of runtime errors.
Optimization (1 mark):

Compilers can optimize the code during the compilation process to improve performance and efficiency. These optimizations can include code inlining, loop unrolling, and other techniques.

Q

Disavantages of compiler

A

Compilation Time (1 mark):

Compilation can be time-consuming, especially for large programs. This can slow down the development process as the entire program needs to be recompiled after changes.
Debugging (1 mark):

Debugging compiled code can be more challenging because errors are identified at compile time, and the generated machine code may not directly correspond to the original source code, making it harder to trace the cause of errors.

Q

Advantages of interpreters

A

Development Speed (2 marks):

Interpreters execute code directly, allowing for quicker testing and debugging. This is particularly useful in the development phase, where changes can be tested immediately without the need for recompilation.
Platform Independence (1 mark):

Interpreted code can be more portable across different platforms, as long as the interpreter is available on each platform. This means that the same source code can be run on different operating systems without modification.
Memory Efficiency (1 mark):

Interpreters can execute code that may not fit entirely in memory at once, as they translate and execute one statement at a time. This can be advantageous for memory-constrained environments.

Q

Disadvantages of interpreters

A

Performance (1 mark):

Interpreted code typically runs slower than compiled code because each instruction needs to be translated at runtime, which adds overhead.
Runtime Errors (1 mark):

Since interpreters translate code at runtime, errors are detected as the program runs. This can lead to runtime errors that may not be discovered until that part of the code is executed, potentially causing the program to crash.

2 uses of data mining

A

Fraud Detection (1 mark):

Data mining techniques can detect patterns and anomalies in transactions that may indicate fraudulent activity. This is particularly useful in the banking and finance sectors for identifying suspicious behavior and preventing fraud.
Predictive Maintenance (1 mark):

In manufacturing and other industries, data mining can be used to predict equipment failures before they occur by analyzing historical maintenance data and operational metrics. This helps in scheduling timely maintenance, reducing downtime, and saving costs.

58
Q

Some other advantages of relational databases

A

Data Integrity: Relational databases enforce data integrity through constraints like primary keys, foreign keys, and referential integrity, ensuring accurate and consistent data.
Flexibility: They allow complex queries using SQL (Structured Query Language) for retrieving, updating, and deleting data, offering powerful data manipulation capabilities.
Scalability: Relational databases can handle large volumes of data and support scalability through techniques like indexing and partitioning.
Normalization: Relational databases support data normalization, reducing redundancy and improving efficiency in data storage.

59
Q

Disadvnatages of relational datbases

A

Complexity: Setting up and maintaining relational databases can be complex and require skilled database administrators.
Performance Overhead: Join operations and complex queries can lead to performance overhead, especially on large datasets.
Cost: Relational databases may require costly licensing fees for proprietary software, and scaling may involve additional hardware expenses.
Learning Curve: Using SQL and understanding relational database concepts may have a steep learning curve for beginners.

60
Q

Advanatges of flat file

A

Simplicity: Flat file databases are simple and easy to understand, making them suitable for small-scale projects or simple applications.
Portability: Flat file databases are portable and can be easily transferred or shared between systems as they are stored in plain text or binary format.
Speed: Flat file databases can be faster for simple read and write operations compared to relational databases, especially for small datasets.
Low Overhead: Flat file databases have low overhead in terms of system resources and do not require a database server, making them lightweight

61
Q

Disadvantages of flat file

A

Limited Functionality: Flat file databases lack advanced features like data integrity constraints, complex querying capabilities, and transaction support found in relational databases.
Redundancy: Flat file databases may lead to data redundancy and inconsistency, as there is no built-in mechanism for enforcing data integrity or normalization.
Scalability: Flat file databases may not scale well for handling large volumes of data or complex relationships between data entities.
Maintenance Challenges: Updating and maintaining data consistency in flat file databases can be challenging, especially as the dataset grows or evolves over time.

Disadvantages of concurrent processing

A

Overhead, Potential for Data Inconsistency:

  • This data can reveal a lot about
    individuals and their behaviour.
  • It can also be used to target
    advertisements.
125
