Final answer:
The false statement is 'c. After you write and save an application, you can compile the bytecode to create source code.' The correct process is compiling source code into bytecode, not the other way around.
Step-by-step explanation:
The false statement among the options provided is c. After you write and save an application, you can compile the bytecode to create source code. This statement is incorrect because the actual process works in the opposite direction: you write and save source code, which you then compile into bytecode. Here are the true and false statements clarified:
- a. Syntax errors are compile-time errors. - True
- b. When you compile a class, you create a new file with the same name as the original file but with a .class extension. - True
- c. After you write and save an application, you can compile the bytecode to create source code. - False. Correct statement: After you write and save an application, you can compile the source code to create bytecode.
In Java programming and similar languages, source code is written in plain text files, usually with extensions such as .java. Upon compilation, a compiler checks the source code for syntactic correctness and then translates it into bytecode, which is stored in files with a .class extension.
