Translator programs, such as assemblers and compilers, convert programs from one lan- guage (referred to as the source language) to another language (referred to as the target language). Determine which of the following statements are true and which are false:

a) An assembler translates source-language programs into machine-language programs.
b) High-level languages are generally machine dependent.
c) A machine-language program requires translation before it can be run on a computer.
d) The C# compiler translates high-level-language programs into SMIL.

a) True.
b) False. A high-level language must be compiled into machine-dependent language before it can be executed. This allows high-level languages to be used on all computers with appropriate compilers.
c) False. A machine-language program is native to a specific machine.
d) False. It translates C# into MSIL.
