- Interpreters translate the source program one statement/line at a time, Compilers translate the entire source code at once before execution.
- Interpreters translate the program each time it runs, hence slower than compiling. Complied programs can be saved on a storage media. It does not require any further translation any time the program is run, hence executes faster than interpreted programs.
- Interpreter translation takes less memory, while compiled programs require more memory as the object code files are larger.
