Languageprocessor

The document discusses different types of language processors including compilers, interpreters, and assemblers. It explains that compilers translate high-level languages to machine code while interpreters translate one statement at a time. Assemblers translate assembly language to machine-readable code. A linker combines object files and libraries into an executable program.

Language Processor

Language Processor
• Language processor is a utility program that
takes input as a source program and generate
output as machine code.
• Machine code is language consisting of
binary and hexadecimal instructions that
computer can respond directly.

executed directly by the CPU

Compiler Interpreter

Assembler
Compiler
• Compiler is used to translate an
high level programming language
code to machine level code and
to create an executable program.
• Compiler checks the error in the
program and reports them. All
errors are to be removed
otherwise code will not be
compiled and executed.
Interpreter
• Interpreter is a program that translates high
level language to machine code but one
statement at a time unlike compiler who
reads the whole program at once
• Interpret one instruction at a time.
Assembler
• Assembler is used to translate an
assembly level code to machine
readable code. Assembler too checks
the correctness of each instruction and
reports the diagnosis report.

Linker
• Resolves the relative location of
instructions and data Lib Obj Obj
• Links libraries with the object and put
them together as executable.
Linker
• Combine different-different object file
into single executable file example .exe
in window operating system
Lib dll exe
Loader
• Inbuilt component of OS.
• Loads program in to main memory
and prepare them for execution
Review

User writes a program in C language (high-


level language). The C compiler, compiles
the program and translates it to assembly
program (low-level language). An assembler
then translates the assembly program into
machine code (object). A linker tool is used
to link all the parts of the program together
for execution (executable machine code). A
loader loads all of them into memory and
then the program is executed.
