The accurate statement is:
Either an interpreter or a compiler can be used to translate a high-level language to binary.
Here's a brief explanation of the terms:
-
Interpreter: Directly executes instructions written in a high-level programming language without first translating them into machine code. Some interpreters can also translate code on-the-fly into binary as the program runs.
-
Compiler: Translates the entire high-level language program into machine code (binary) before the program is executed. This binary code can then be run directly by the machine.
The other statements are not accurate for the following reasons:
-
A program will need to use both an interpreter and a compiler to translate a high-level language to binary. This is not true. A program typically uses either a compiler or an interpreter, not both.
-
Neither an interpreter nor a compiler is needed to translate a high-level language to binary. This statement is incorrect because some form of translation is needed to take high-level code and convert it into machine-readable binary format.
-
Translation to binary is not necessary for modern high-level languages. This statement can be misleading because while some modern languages involve just-in-time (JIT) compilation or run in virtual machines, they still ultimately rely on binary execution.
