Answer Posted / smile555
Compiler vs. Interpreter
An interpreter translates some form of source code into a
target representation that it can immediately execute and
evaluate. The structure of the interpreter is similar to
that of a compiler, but the amount of time it takes to
produce the executable representation will vary as will the
amount of optimization.
Compiler characteristics:
* spends a lot of time analyzing and processing the program
* resulting executable is some form of machine- specific
binary code
* the computer hardware interprets (executes) the resulting code
* program execution is fast
Interpreter characteristics:
* relatively little time is spent analyzing and processing
the program
* the resulting code is some sort of intermediate code
* the resulting code is interpreted by another program
* program execution is relatively slow
