Complier and the Interpreter

Question

State the difference between Complier and the Interpreter?

Answer 1

Both the compiler and interpreter perform the same function of converting the high level language into the machine level language. The difference lies in the way they carry out the conversion. The compiler converts the whole program into the machine language which will get executed and required output is produced. The interpreter converts the program line by line and in case any of the error occurs it will stop at that point of time without converting next set codes.
