Implementation Stage

Question 1

A programming language like LiveCode which contains English-like commands and constructs.

Answer 1

High-level language

Question 2

The high-level language statements as keyed in by the programmer.

Answer 2

source code

Question 3

Code that runs directly on the processor.

Answer 3

machine code / object code

Question 4

A program needed to translate a complete source code program into a complete machine code program.

Answer 4

compiler

Question 5

Object code which can run on different machines based on the same processor; code which can run under different operating systems.

Answer 5

portable code

Question 6

The process of discovering, and then correcting, errors made in the source code.

Answer 6

debug

Question 7

This translator program translates and runs source code one line at a time, stopping if an error is discovered. Good to use during the development of code.

Answer 7

interpreter

Question 8

A printout of the source code that uses indentation to show when lines of code depend on a programming construct like a loop or a selection statement.

Answer 8

structured listing

Question 9

The program a programmer uses when entering source code, editing source code, debugging source code, etc.

Answer 9

text editor

Question 10

Lines of English inside the program; they are there to explain what a section of code is doing, so that another programmer could maintain the code later, and are ignored by the compiler / interpreter.

Answer 10

internal documentation / comment lines
