Implementation Methods

Descripción

The machine language of a computer is its set of instructions; they are generally hard to read by humans. Higher-level languages used by programmers must undergo processing by the operative system to convert those instructions for the machine to understand. How these languages undergo those changes are discussed here.

Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta Respuesta
Compilation Programs (source language) are translated into machine code (machine language) so that they can be executed directly on the computer. Ex. C, COBOL, C++ Slow translation, fast execution
Compilation Process
von Neumann Bottleneck The speed of the connection between a computer's memory and its processor often determines the speed of the computer. Instructions often can be executed faster (CPU) than they can be moved back to the processor (RAM) for execution.
Pure Interpretation Programs are interpreted by another program called an interpreter, with no translation. Advantage: easy implementation of programs, run-time errors can be easily and immediately displayed Disadvantage: slower execution and requires more space Ex. APL, SNOBOL, JavaScript, PHP
Pure Interpretation Process
Hybrid Implementation Systems Programs that are partially compiled and partially interpreted. A high-level language program is translated (compiled) to an intermediate language that is then interpreted. Advantage: Faster than pure interpretation Ex. Perl, Java
Preprocessors A program that processes a program to expand embedded preprocessor macros just before the program is compiled. Ex. C Preprocessor: #include, #define
Programming Environments A programming environment is the collection of tools used in the development of software. This collection may consist of only a file system, a text editor, a linker, and a compiler or it can include a large collection of integrated tools, each accessed through a uniform user interface. Ex. UNIX, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
