COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: A computer can only directly execute a program if it is expressed in the machine language of that particular type of computer. Programs written in a high-level language must be translated into machine language before they can be executed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Programs written in a high level language must be converted into machine code to run. This is either done ahead of time by converting a whole program to machine code with a compiler program (compiling the code), or line by line as the program runs by an interpreter.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Compiler. It is a program that translates a source program written in some high-level programming language into machine code for some computer architecture. In simple language, it converts high-level language into machine language.

Detailed explanation-4: -A compiler is a computer program that translates a program written in a high-level language to the machine language of a computer. The compiler is used to translate source code into machine code or compiled code.

Detailed explanation-5: -source code: A program in a high-level language, before being compiled.
