Compiler Vs Interprator

Compilers and interpreters both transform code but compilers translate entire programs into machine code before execution while interpreters translate code line by line during execution, making compilers generally faster but interpreters able to detect errors more easily.

What is the Difference Between a Compiler and an

Interpreter?

Compilers and interpreters are both used to transform high-level programming code into
machine-readable instructions; there are many differences between compiler and interpreter. A
compiler translates the entire source code into machine code before execution, resulting in faster
execution since no translation is needed during runtime. On the other hand, an interpreter translates
code line by line during execution, making it easier to detect errors but potentially slowing down
the program.

Compilers generate standalone machine code, allowing for distribution without revealing the
source code, while interpreters execute code directly in the language environment, which is useful
for interactive and scripting purposes.
