Define the terms, procedural language, compiler, machine language, and interpreter. List benefits of OOP languages.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Procedural language:

  • A computer programming language that follows a set of commands in an order.
  • It offers a collection of sequential steps. This language is derived from structured programming language.
  • Procedural language contains systematic order of lines and methods in order to accomplish a task.
  • Examples: Some of the examples of procedural language are: C++, Java, Python, and many others.

Compiler:

  • When a program is executed, it should be first compiled and then executed.
  • As the machine cannot recognize the programming code, the compiler is used to convert the source code into machine language.
  • The process of using a translator to convert a high-level language program into a machine language is called compilation.
