Compilers and Interpreters in Computer

Table of Contents

Compilers

Besides the application software and the system software, there is a third kind of software called the compiler software.

Compiler is a system program that translates source code (user written program) into object code (binary form).
The whole source code file is compiled in one go and a complete.

This means that the program can only be executed once the translation is complete.
It is 5-25 times faster than an interpreter.
Ex- C & C++ are most popular compiled language.

Interpreter

Translate the high level language and execute the instruction before passing on to the next instruction.

An Interpreter is contrast to a compiler, analyzes & executes the source code line- by – line without looking at the entire program.
First it translates & executes the first line then it moves to the next line of the source code & repeats the process.

It is a slow process.
It is used in FORTRAN program.
Ex- JavaScript & VBScript are interpreted language.
