Application

In the previous section, you just learn a brief history of C language, its
advantages and disadvantage, and also how it translates a program during
execution.
To retain those learning you have acquired, you need to answer the
questions below.
1. BCPL stands for
Basic Combined Programming Language

2. What is the origin of B Language?

B language was designed by Ken Thompson of AT&T Bell
Laboratories for systems programming. (Accounts differ
regarding the origins of the name “B”. Ken Thompson
credits the BCPL programming language, but he had also
created a language called “Bon” in honor of his wife
Bonnie)

3.List five reasons why C is a very popular programming language.

1. The C programming language is so popular because it is known as the
mother of all programming languages.
2. This language is widely flexible to use memory management.
3. C is the best option for system level programming language.
4. it is not limited but widely used operating systems, language compilers,
network drivers, language interpreters and etc.
5. This a hardware dependent language.

4.The programming tools used to translate program code into computerreadable

forms are the ________________________ and the _____________________.

5.The output of a compiler is called _______________________.

6.What makes program execution slower in interpreters than with compilers?
