COMPLIER and INTERPRETER

Question 1

INTERPRETER

Answer 1

reads the source code line by line and immediately executes each line

Makes it easier to develop and test code.

If error found execution is stopped.

Question 2

COMPILER

Answer 2

Translates human-readable source code written in a programming language into machine code that a computer can execute.

Faster & more powerful than interpreter.

Question 3

ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES

Answer 3

COMPILER:
Compiled code tends to run faster than interpreted code.

Source code more secure when using compiler.

Compiling can be a time-consuming process, especially for large programs.

INTERPRETER:
Debugging is easier since the interpreted code is more transparent and easier to analyze.

Interpreters can be more flexible than compilers.

Interpreted code tends to run slower than compiled code.
