1. (a)Give two reasons why a programmer would choose to write code in a low-level language.[2]
2. (b)High-level languages require either an interpreter or a compiler to translate the program. The table below lists a number of statements about language translators. Tick (✔) to show which statements refer to interpreters and which refer to compilers. Statements Translates the source code into machine code all at once Produces an executable file in machine code Executes a high-level language program one instruction at a time Once translated, the translator does not need to be present for the program to run An executable file is produced[5]
