Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is false:
A
INTERPRETED programs run slower than COMPILED programs
B
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE is easier to read then MACHINE CODE
C
COMPILED programs are easier to debug
D
MACHINE CODE programs are usually HARDWARE SPECIFIC
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In general, interpreted programs are slower than compiled programs, but are easier to debug and revise.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compiler does not allow a program to run until it is completely error-free. Interpreter runs the program from first line and stops execution only if it encounters an error. Compiled languages are more efficient but difficult to debug. Interpreted languages are less efficient but easier to debug.

Detailed explanation-3: -The interpreter is highly useful in debugging but the overall execution is slow. While a compiler scans the entire source code, resolving errors is slightly difficult.

Detailed explanation-4: -Python code is extremely easy to read for developers, which makes debugging easier. Furthermore, Python is backed by an extremely active community of developers where you can reach out for help, making the learning process a whole lot easier.
