Distinguish between compiler and interpreter
- A compiler translates the entire program at once as a unit before execution can begin. An Interpreter translates one instruction of the source program at a time. The translated instruction is immediately obeyed before the next instruction can be translated.
- An interpreter translates the program each time it is needed for execution; compiled programs can be saved on a storage media and run when required.
- For an Interpreter, syntax errors are reported & corrected before the execution can continue. For a compiler, syntax errors are reported & corrected after the source code has been translated to its object code equivalent.
