A line of software code is called?

A line of software code is called a line of source code... Come on now.Source lines of code (SLOC) is a software metric used to measure the size of a software program by counting the number of lines in the text of the program's source code. SLOC is typically used to predict the amount of effort that will be required to develop a program, as well as to estimate programming productivity or effort once the software is produced.see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_lines_of_code


What is the difference between compilar and interpreter?

compiler is a software translator used in ProgrammingLanguage: C,C++, Java etc ). This used for to translate High level language to Machine independent language. Interpreter is used to translate source code to machine code by line by line.


What are some sites that you can code and save java online other than Compilr.com?

You should seriously consider getting an IDE, and writing code off-line. <><><><><> There are several free IDE's, including Microsoft's Visual Studio and Sun's Eclipse.


What is incremental compiler and it's working?

A computer-aided software development system includes programs to implement edit, compile, link and run sequences, all from memory, at very high speed. The compiler operates on an incremental basis, line-by-line, so if only one line is changed in an edit session, then only that line need be recompiled if no other code is affected. Scanning is done incrementally, and the resulting token list saved in memory to be used again where no changes are made. All of the linking tables are saved in memory so there is no need to generate link tables for increments of code where no changes in links are needed. The parser is able to skip lines or blocks of lines of source code which haven't been changed; for this purpose, each line of source text in the editor has a change-tag to indicate whether this line has been changed, and from this change-tag information a clean-lines table is built having a clean-lines indication for each line of source code, indicating how many clean lines follow the present line. All of the source code text modules, the token lists, symbol tables, code tables and related data saved from one compile to another are maintained in virtual memory rather than in files so that speed of operation is enhanced. Also, the object code created is maintained in memory rather than in a file, and executed from this memory image, to reduce delays. A virtual memory management arrangement for the system assures that all of the needed data modules and code is present in real memory by page swapping, but with a minimum of page faults, again to enhance operating speed.

Visual Studio 6.0 Professional Edition - display line numbers?

There is no option to display line numbers in VB6. You can see the current line and column displayed on the standard toolbar (View > Toolbars > Standard (should be check marked). Example: "Ln 170, Col 18" I've never used it but read about an MZTools add-in which works by adding line numbers to your source code.


What is a source line?

A source line refers to a specific line or segment of code within a program or script that is used to perform a specific function or task. It helps developers locate and troubleshoot issues within their code by identifying the exact line where the problem may be occurring.


How is Compiler Different from Interpretor?

A traditional compiler converts the source code to machine code; many recent compilers convert the source code to some intermediate language instead. An interpreter runs the source code directly, which means the source code is basically "interpreted" one line at a time.
