About this MCQ

This Hard Compiler Design MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “Choose the correct description of Symbol table.”

The accepted answer is C. A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables, functions, and identifiers.. Choose the correct description of Symbol table is answered by A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables functions and identifiers option C Option A The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables functions and identifiers Option B The first phase of compilation that converts source code into a sequence of tokens does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables functions and identifiers.

A. The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation.
Why not A: “The compiler phase that translates source code into an intermediate representation before final code generation.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables, functions, and identifiers.. Choose the correct description of Symbol table is answered by A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables functions and identifiers option C Option A T
B. The first phase of compilation that converts source code into a sequence of tokens.
Why not B: “The first phase of compilation that converts source code into a sequence of tokens.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables, functions, and identifiers.. Choose the correct description of Symbol table is answered by A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables functions and identifiers option C Option A T
C. A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables, functions, and identifiers. ✓
D. A tree representation showing the syntactic structure of source code according to grammar rules.
Why not D: “A tree representation showing the syntactic structure of source code according to grammar rules.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables, functions, and identifiers.. Choose the correct description of Symbol table is answered by A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables functions and identifiers option C Option A T

Correct answer

C. A data structure used by a compiler to store information about variables, functions, and identifiers.
