Program Generator

Q1. Explain Program Generators

Software program that enables an individual to create a program of their own with less effort and programming knowledge, With a program generator a user may only be required to specify the steps or rules required for his or her program and not need to write any code or very little code.

A program generator system is a general software tool for producing program generators. The program generator automates portions of the program synthesis process for members of a particular class of programs, allowing the source forms of programs to be more compact and to reflect the conceptual basis of the applications area more directly.
