What is the name of the process that converts high-level programming languages into machine-readable code?
Correct answer: D. Both (a) and (b)
- A. Compiling
- B. Interpreting
- C. Debugging
- D. Both (a) and (b)
Explanation
Both compiling and interpreting are processes that convert high-level programming languages into machine-readable code that can be executed by a computer's processor.• Compiling involves translating the entire source code into machine code or bytecode before execution.• Interpreting involves translating and executing the source code line by line during runtime. The other options (c) Debugging refers to the process of identifying and fixing errors or bugs in a program, and it is not a process for converting high-level languages to machine code.
