1. In what sense is a program in a third-generation language machine independent? In
what sense is it still machine dependent?
Machine independent
They enable the programmer to concentrate only on the logic of the program without
concerning about the internal architecture of the computer system. We can say that these
languages are machine independent
Machine dependent
To make it understandable to the computer, it is again to be translated in machine
level code.
2.what is the difference between an assembler and a compiler?
Compiler:
Compiler is a computer program that reads a program written in one language and
translates it in to another language.
Compilers usually produce the machine executable code directly from a high-level
language.
Assembler:
An assembler can be considered a special type of compiler which translates only
Assembly language to machine code.
Assemblers produce an object code which might have to be linked using linker
programs in order to run on a machine. Because Assembly language has a one to one
mapping with machine code, an assembler may be used for producing code that runs very
efficiently for occasions in which performance is very important (for e.g. graphics...
