Section-B (Subjective Type Questions)

3. Nowadays, most programs are written in a high-level language such as C, Java, or Python. These
languages are designed more for people, rather than machines. High-level languages simplify the job of
telling a computer what to do. However, since computers only understand instructions in machine
code (in the form of 1's and 0's), we can not properly communicate with them without some sort of a
special translator is called a language processor.
a) What is a language processor? [1]
Ans: language processor is a software that translates or converts a program written in a
computer language into the machine code, so that it can be understood by the computer.
b) Which translator system is used in C++ and Perl? [1]
Ans: C++ - Compiler, Perl- Interpreter

Page 2 of 8
 c) Mention any two differences in between the compiler and interpreter. [1]
Ans:

SR.NO. COMPILER INTERPRETER

(Children can write any relevant difference)

1. A compiler is a program which converts the entire source
code of a programming language into executable machine
code for a CPU.
2. Compiler takes a large amount of time to analyse the
entire source code, but the overall execution time of the
program is comparatively fast.
3. Compiler generates the error message only after scanning
the whole program, so debugging is comparatively hard as
the error can be present anywhere in the program.
4. Generates intermediate object code.
Interpreter takes a source program and runs it line by
line, translating each line as it comes to it.
Interpreter takes less amount of time to analyse the
source code, but the overall execution time of the
program is slow.
Debugging on this is easier, as it discontinues
translating the program once an error is met.
No intermediate object code is generated.

4. Complete the following flowchart by using the following specifications: [4]

 The program is to find the Area of a Rectangle
 The formula is: Area=Length*Breadth

Ans:

a) Input Length
b) Area=Length*Breadth
c) Display Area

5. Define the following components of a flowchart and draw their symbols: (Any 2) [1+1=2]
a) Terminal box- This box is of an oval shape, which is used to indicate the start or end of the program.
Every flowchart diagram has an oval shape that depicts the start of an algorithm and another oval
shape that depicts the end of an algorithm.

b) Arrows/Flow line- In a Flowchart, a line is a connector that shows relationships between the
representative shapes and the flow of the program. It is an arrow line.

c) Decision Box-In a Flowchart, decision box is used for checking or applying any condition in the
program. The shape of this component is Diamond or Rhombus.

6. Make a flowchart using the following algorithm: [3]

Step 1: Start.
Step 2: Input a name.
Step 3: If name is Kabir, then accept marks, else stop the program.
Step 4: If marks are >= 85, then display ‘Good Performance’, else display ‘Pass’.
Step 6: Stop
