Ans: An assembler converts assembly language code into machine

code, enabling low-level hardware control for efficient execution.
correct
(ii) Compilers definition
Ans: A compiler is a language translator that converts high level
language into low level language at once. It shows all errors
together with line number. Once all errors are corrected and object
code is created, compiler is no more required in memory.

(iii) Interpreter

Ans: An Interpreter is a language translator that converts high

level language into low level language line by line, instead of
converting the entire code at once. It stops at the line where error is
found and requires rectification of same to move forward. It is
always required in memory.

test if a value is found within a sequence such as a string, list, 1 mark
tuple, or dictionary. Python has two membership operators: in for

found in the sequence.
Ex. “a” not in “apple”. It will return False

to complete her code. answer
1x5=5

(i) Write a suitable condition to run “for” loop for identifying prime
numbers starting from 2 till 100 (including both), in the blank
space marked as statement 1.

Ans: 2,101:

(ii) Write a suitable condition “for” loop for checking condition

required (number excluding 1 and number itself) for prime
number, in the blank space marked as statement 2.

Ans: 2,i

(iii) Write a suitable condition to check if a number given by variable

‘i’ is completely divisible by ‘j’ or not because if a number is
completely divisible by any number between 2 and number itself
(excluding number itself) than it can’t be a prime number, in the
blank space marked as statement 3.

Ans: i%j==0

(iv) Write a suitable statement to terminate the loop because if a

number is completely divisible by any number between 2 and
number itself (excluding number itself) than it can’t be a prime
number. So, terminate the current loop, in the blank space marked
as statement 4.

Ans.: break

(v) Write a suitable condition to check whether ‘flag’ is 0 or not.

Because if ‘flag’ is zero then only that number can be prime as per
