Compilers

LR Parser

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
What is the similarity between LR, LALR and SLR?
Use same algorithm, but different parsing table
Same parsing table, but different algorithm
Their Parsing tables and algorithm are similar but uses top down approach
Both Parsing tables and algorithm are different
Explanation:
The common grounds of these 3 parser is the algorithm but parsing table is different.
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
System program such as compiler are designed so that they are _________
Re-enterable
Non reusable
Serially usable
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Re-enterable is the keyword for compiler being designed.
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Advantage of incorporating the macro-processor into pass 1 is that _________
Many functions have to be implemented twice
Functions are combined not necessarily creating intermediate files as output from the macro-processor and input to the assembler
More flexibility is provided to the programmer in that he may use all the features of the assembler in conjunction with macros
All of the mentioned
Explanation:
A general-purpose macro processor or general purpose pre-processor is a macro designed primarily for string manipulation, macro definition.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
When there is a reduce/reduce conflict?
If a state does not know whether it will make a shift operation using the production rule i or j for a terminal
If a state does not know whether it will make a shift or reduction operation using the production rule i or j for a terminal
If a state does not know whether it will make a reduction operation using the production rule i or j for a terminal
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
It occurs when If a state does not know whether it will make a reduction operation using the production rule i or j for a terminal.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
A system program that setup an executable program in main memory ready for execution is?
Assembler
Linker
Loader
Load and go
Explanation:
A loader is the part of an operating system that is responsible for loading programs and libraries. It is one of the essential stages in the process of starting a program, as it places programs into memory and prepares them for execution.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following system program forgoes the production of object code to generate absolute machine code and load it into the physical main storage location from which it will be executed immediately upon completion of the assembly?
Two pass assembler
Load and go assembler
Macro processor
Linker
Explanation:
A load and go assembler generates absolute machine code and loads it to physical memory.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
A loader is a program that _________
Program that places functions into memory and prepares them for execution
Program that automates the translation of assembly language into machine language
Program accepting another program written in a high level language and produces as object program
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
A loader is the part of an operating system that is responsible for loading programs and libraries. It is important in the process of placing the programs into memory and executing them.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of these is also known as look-head LR parser?
SLR
LR
LLR
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
LLR is the look ahead parser.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Assembler is a program that _________
Puts programs into memory and executes them
Translates the assembly language into machine language
Writes in high level language and produces an object program
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
An assembler is a program that takes basic computer instructions and converts them into a pattern of bits that the computer’s processor can use to perform its basic operations.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
A series of statements explaining how the data is to be processed is called _________
Assembly
Machine
COBOL
Program
Explanation:
A program is a sequence of instructions, written to perform a task by computer. It requires programs to function, typically executing the program’s instructions in a central processor.
