Document Summary

In a procedural language, the programmer writes instructions using. English-like words that tell the computer what to accomplish and how to do it. A programming language which use statements consisting of. English like keywords such as for , print , if:, etc. Each statement corresponds to several machine language instructions. Much easier to program than in assembly language. Operations can be described using familiar symbols. A program that converts another program from some source language to machine language (object code) Some compilers output assembly language which is then converted to machine language by a separate assembler. Is distinguished from an assembler by the fact that each input statement, in general, correspond to more than one machine instruction. The form in which a computer program, written in some formal programming language, is written by the programmer. Can be compiled automatically into object code or machine code or executed by an interpreter. Equivalent machine language translation of the source program.
