  • 1. Advantage(s) of using assembly language rather than machine language is/are:

  • Options
  • A. It is mnemonic and easy to read
  • B. Addresses any symbolic, not absolute
  • C. Introduction of data to program is easier
  • D. All of the above
  • Discuss
  • 2. The function(s) of the Storage Assignment is/are:

  • Options
  • A. to assign storage to all variables referenced in the source program
  • B. to assign storage to all temporary locations that are necessary for intermediate results
  • C. to assign storage to literals, and to ensure that the storage is allocated and appropriate locations are initialized

  • Discuss
  • 3. In analyzing the compilation of PL/I program, the term "Machine independent optimization" is associated with

  • Options

  • Options
  • A. Terminal table
  • B. Literal table
  • C. Identifier table
  • D. Reductions
  • Discuss
  • 10. Which of the following system program forgoes the production of object code to generate absolute machine code and load it into the physical main storage location from which it will be executed immediately upon completion of the assembly?

  • Options
  • A. two pass assembler
  • B. load-and-go assembler
