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

Answer Posted / nand lal

• A complier converts the high level instruction into
machine language while an interpreter converts the high
level instruction into an intermediate form.

• Before execution, entire program is executed by the
compiler whereas after translating the first line, an
interpreter then executes it and so on.

• List of errors is created by the compiler after the
compilation process while an interpreter stops translating
after the first error.

• An independent executable file is created by the compiler
whereas interpreter is required by an interpreted program
each time.
