What ias computer interpreter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A computer interpreter is a type of program that allows computer code written in a high-level programming language to be executed by the computer. Interpreters work by translating the code into machine code, which is the language that the computer's processor can understand and execute.

Unlike compilers, which translate high-level code into machine code before the program runs, interpreters execute the code line-by-line, translating each line into machine code and executing it as it goes. This makes it possible to run code in an interactive or iterative manner, making debugging and testing easier and facilitating rapid prototyping.

Interpreters are commonly used in scripting languages like Python, Ruby, and JavaScript, which are often used for web development and other applications where code needs to be executed quickly. They are also used in some programming languages like BASIC.

Overall, interpreters provide an essential way for programmers to write and execute code more efficiently and effectively, making it possible to create applications and software that can run on a wide range of systems.

Name of the all super computers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a list of companies that used to make super computers and some of those companies still do make super computers. The question is simply but the answer keeps changing on a day by day basis especially if you include the military super computers. IBM and Toshiba make that size of computer.

When was the Colossus computer built?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The actual computers called Colossus were World War II code-breaking computers built in 1943 and 1944 in Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England. These were the first true programmable computers, and about a dozen were built.

The prototype, Colossus Mark I, was shown working in December 1943 and was operational at Bletchley Park by February 1944. An improved Colossus Mark II was first installed in June 1944, and ten more had been constructed by the end of the war. Unfortunately, the secret nature of these computers meant that their innovations were not available for commercial computer development for many years.

*The other computer called Colossus is a fictional artificial intelligence from a 1965 novel (Colossus) by Dennis Feltham Jones, which was the basis for the film Colossus, the Forbin Project in 1970

NO, humans created the computers and humans put the information on the computers the computers have no thinking ability what so ever... the information you see on a website that you learn from is not the computer teaching you its the person who created the site that is teaching you.

When did they create the computers?

Asked by Wiki User

  1. The first electronic digital computer was built in 1942. Called the ABC it was built in Ames, IA by John Vincent Atanasoff & Clifford Berry.
  2. The first programmable electronic digital computer was built in 1943. Called Colossus Mark I it was built by Thomas Flowers and a team at the Dolis Hills lab of the British Post Office for Bletchley Park. Through 1944 and 1945 up to the end of the war in Europe 10 more Colossus Mark IIimproved models that used parallel processing to run 5 times faster were built.
  3. The first programmable electronic digital computer using a stored program (like all modern computers) was built in 1948. Called the Manchester Baby.

Who are the two most powerful and important men in computer history?

Asked by Wiki User

A few years back, many would have said Bill Gates of Microsoft and Steve Jobs of Apple. However, Steve Jobs passed away and Bill Gates is no longer a part of Microsoft. Early in 2015, Bill Gates completely retired from Microsoft. He retired as CEO around 2000 and as Chairman in early 2015.

They are not commercially sold, the power supply needed would probably also mean you would need to upgrade your power supply. Just buy a commercial computer.

Why were computers useful?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

People use computers inside of schools for many reasons, teachers may use them for typing up tests, grading, and streaming videos for educational purposes. Students might use them to create and work on projects (I.E Powerpoint,Movie,Excel ect.) or take tests on currently read books to gain points in the classroom.

How much gold is in a computer processor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not much, since the gold is typically just a thin plate over copper traces. Printed circuit gold is usually only one or two mils thick and you'd need several boards to make up an ounce of gold. It IS worth it, but you'd need to process several boards to make it worth your time and effort.

Lot of them to state. please advice what exactly are you looking for. If there were no computers, we would have been interacting on WIKI

ANSWER: Where to start and where to finish for the benefits. perform arithmetic. make logical decisions, communication withe the whole world, control machines at precise points. Allow information to be seen instantly and on and on. Unfortunately is a dumb animal it is as smart as the MAN that programs it thank go. Huh

What was the purpose of making the first electronic computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first electronic computer, the Atanasoff Berry Computer, was invented because Doctor John Vincent Atanasoff at the University of Iowa in Ames Iowa had too many large difficult to solve systems of simultaneous equations. The machine was invented one night in a bar in Indiana where Atanasoff had gone to get away and the ideas started coming together. It was built between 1939 and 1942. Atanasoff designed it to solve systems of simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables, because this would handle most of his problems without having to make the machine too big (it came out about the size of an office desk).

What are th compare all generations of computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No difference really, they still take 1's and 0's and make mathematical calculations corresponding to their instruction sets (CPU). What is DONE with that has changed dramatically tho, with every new generation, and that's about the only real difference...well besides the darn size thing.

Any more of an answer would be doing your test for you, and take far more room than this page offers.

1st generation computers used vacuum tubes. This generation spanned roughly 1940s to 1958. Today's generation uses very complicated integrated circuits. It started no earlier than the 1990s. A typical single IC from a modern computer contains several orders of magnitude more components than an entire 1st generation computer occupying an entire room, and runs at speeds unimaginable in the 1st generation.

I would imagine that you would need graphics design or computer programming. I know a guy that designed and put one together that didn't have a degree at all, but to do that you would have to be able to self finance.

How do computers affect people's everyday lives?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Computers can either affect in a good way or a bad way, it depends. For example, it can affect people's lives in a good way because we can use it for studying and research. But, the computer can also be effective in a bad way because computer games can control peoples lives if they are to addicted to that one certain game. Then people should take steps to get back on track with their addiction and control it.
