LR Parser

Question 1
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 2

Which of these is true about LR parsing?
Is most general non-backtracking shift-reduce parsing
It is still efficient
Is most general non-backtracking shift-reduce parsing & It is still efficient
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
LR parsers are a type of bottom-up parsers that efficiently handle deterministic context-free languages in guaranteed linear time.

Pass Ratio : 100%
What is terminal table?
Contains all constants in the program
Is a permanent table of decision rules in the form of patterns for matching with the uniform symbol table to discover syntactic structure
Consist of a full or partial list of the token is as they appear in the program created by lexical analysis and used for syntax analysis and interpretation
Is a permanent table which lists all keywords and special symbols of the language in symbolic form
Explanation:
A permanent database that has entry for each terminal symbols such as arithmetic operators, keywords, punctuation characters such as ‘;’, ‘,’etc Fields: Name of the symbol.
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%
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 6
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 7
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.
Question 8
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 9
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.

Which of the following is a phase of a compilation process?
Lexical Analysis
Code Generation
Lexical Analysis & Code Generation
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Lexical analysis and code generation is a phase of compilation process.
