Features in first high-level
The first high level language which we learned was C++. A high level language is more close to humans and is not designed specifically for the machine. High level languages provide important features such as abstraction, exception handling and others.
- A programming language can be implemented either using a compiler, a pure interpreter or a hybrid implementation of both interpreter and compiler.
- C++ is more of a compiled language and that is one of the reasons of its efficiency. But some of the programming environments also provide interpreted form of the code for easier debugging.
Compiled languages are usually faster during execution.
- Firstly, the program is passed to lexical analyzer which gathers different lexemes like keywords, punctuations and others of the code.
- This information is then passed to syntactic analyzer which makes parse trees out of this information...
