Compiler
A compiler is software that converts the entire source program into machine language before executing
it. It converts the entire high-level language program into machine language at once. It displays the
errors for the whole program together.
Interpreter
An interpreter is also software that converts the entire source program into machine language before
executing it. However, it translates and executes one statement at a time. It displays the errors of one
line at a time, and it goes to the next line only after the error is corrected.
WORKING OF LANGUAGE TRANSLATORS
The programs written in a high-level language must be translated into machine language by using a
translator called a compiler or interpreter.
