what is the difference between compiler and interpreter?
give any one example (software product) that act as a
interpreter?

Answer Posted / gautam menariya

A compiler, in general, reads higher level language computer
code and converts it to either p-code or native machine
code. An interpreter runs directly from p-code or an
interpreted code such as Basic or Lisp. Typically, compled
code runs much faster, is more compact and has already found
all of the syntax errors and many of the illegal reference
errors. Interpreted code only finds such errors after the
application attempts to interpret the affected code.
Interpreted code is often good for simple applications that
will only be used once or at most a couple times, or maybe
even for prototyping. Compiled code is better for serious
applications.
