Chapter 1, Problem 24RQ

Explanation of Solution

Three general methods of implementing a programming language:

The Three methods are:

  • Compiler Implementation.
  • Just In Time (JIT) or Interpreted Implementation.
  • The combination of both compiled and interpreted implementation.

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 tees out of this information.
  • Further, the code is then converted to an intermediate language and the semantic errors and rectified in this stage.
  • Finally, the code in this intermediate language is then converted to machine code which can be run by the system...
