Translation programs
High Level languages
All computer programs need to be converted to machine language (binary) in order to execute.
Translation methods:
1. Compiler - converts whole program code at once
2. Interpreter - converts one line, then executes it and repeats this process continually until the end of the program.
High level language instructions are similar to English, making programming easier.
Advantages
- easier to understand for the programmer
- easy to correct errors and test programs
- programs can be used on different computers
