if (true AND false) OR (false AND true) OR NOT(false AND true) AND (true and true) OR (true OR false)
A program is written that calculates the sum of two numbers.
Name the part of the computer system that will carry out each of the following tasks during the execution of the code.
function main()
//Loops 10 times
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
print($i)
end for

| Interpreted programs | Compiled programs |
|---|---|
| Report errors immediately | Report all errors after compilation |
| Are slow | Are fast |
| Are translated line by line | Are translated into machine code in one step |
| Require an interpreter to run the program every time | Can be run independently of the compiler after compilation |
for i in range(0, 100):
print(i)How many lines will be translated with:
A compiler?
An interpreter?
