Compiler

The document compares interpreters and compilers, highlighting that interpreters translate code line-by-line during execution, resulting in slower performance and real-time error detection. In contrast, compilers translate the entire code into machine code before execution, leading to faster performance and the identification of all errors at once. Additionally, interpreters generally require more memory during execution compared to compilers.
