Which statement about an interpreter is correct?

It translates and executes code statement by statement, so an error on a later line may not be reported until execution reaches it
It reports all syntax errors in the whole program before executing any line
It produces a standalone executable file that runs without the interpreter
Interpreted programs always run faster than compiled programs

In a C++ build, which component resolves calls to functions defined in other object files or libraries?

Loader
Compiler
Preprocessor
Linker

What does #include <iostream> do in C++?

The compiler imports a precompiled module at execution
The linker attaches the iostream library at run time
The loader loads iostream into memory when the program starts
The preprocessor textually inserts the header's contents before compilation

What does a JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler do?

It checks syntax only, without generating any code
It compiles intermediate code (such as bytecode) into native machine code while the program is running
It compiles all source code to machine code before distribution
It converts machine code back into source code

A compiler running on Windows x86 generates executables for an ARM microcontroller. What is it called?

The result is always 0

Which statement about compiled and interpreted languages is most accurate?

C cannot be interpreted
Every Java program is fully interpreted
Python can never be compiled
