Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which type of translator converts high-level source code into machine code one line at a time, executing each line immediately?

  1. Linker
  2. Compiler
  3. Interpreter
  4. Assembler
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Interpreter
An interpreter translates and executes high-level code line by line without producing a separate executable file. A compiler translates the entire program into machine code before execution. An assembler converts assembly language (low-level) into machine code. A linker combines object files but does not translate source code.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A student writes a Python program on her school computer. She wants to run the same program at home without installing Python. Which translator should she have used instead?

  1. A compiler, because it produces a standalone executable
  2. An interpreter, because it runs code on any machine
  3. An assembler, because it converts code to binary directly
  4. A linker, because it combines all required files together
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — A compiler, because it produces a standalone executable
A compiler produces a standalone executable file that can be run without the original translator being installed on the target machine. An interpreter requires the interpreter software to be present every time the program runs. An assembler only works with assembly language, not Python. A linker combines object files but does not translate high-level source code.

Are the Translators and Facilities of Languages questions aligned to the official OCR GCSE Computer Science syllabus?
Every question is written against the published OCR GCSE Computer Science specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real OCR paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from OCR.
How is Translators and Facilities of Languages typically tested on OCR GCSE Computer Science papers?
Translators and Facilities of Languages appears across multiple question types on real OCR GCSE Computer Science papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions.
