Programming Languages and Compilers

BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) was a precursor to B and C. It was specifically designed for system programming and introduced structured control flow constructs.

Floating point literals in Java are double by default. To specify a float literal, you must append 'f' or 'F' to the number.

Double, Float, and Short are valid primitive types (or wrapper classes, but here they refer to the types). Large is not a primitive type in Java.

Bytecodes are the machine instructions for the Java Virtual Machine, generated by the Java compiler.

Windows is the most widely used operating system for personal computers globally. C++ and Java are programming languages, and MS-DOS is an older operating system.

COBOL stands for Common Business Oriented Language. It was one of the earliest high-level programming languages and is still widely used in business, finance, and administrative systems.

An assembler is a specific type of translator that converts assembly language code into machine language (binary) that the computer processor can execute.

Option 4 is the correct answer.

C is a procedural, low-level programming language that does not have built-in GUI libraries. Visual C++, Visual Java, and C# are designed for GUI development.

Assembly language uses mnemonics (short codes like MOV, ADD, SUB) to represent machine-level instructions, making it easier for humans to read than pure binary machine code.

The most common use of one dimensional array in C is string.

Option 4 is the correct answer.

Option 2 is the correct option.

Option (3) is correct.

Source program is written in high level language.
