Language Translator
A language translator helps the computer understand and convert instructions from
programming languages into machine language, which the computer can run. Examples
of language translators include compilers, assemblers, debuggers, and interpreters.
Assembler
An assembler is a program used to translate assembly language into machine language
so that the computer can understand it.
Compiler
A compiler is a software that converts the entire source program written in a programming
language into machine language before executing it. It displays the errors for the whole
program together.
Interpreter
An interpreter is also a separate program that converts the entire source program
into machine language before executing it. An interpreter translates and executes one
statement at a time. It displays the errors in one line at a time and it goes to the next line
only after the error is corrected.
Info Byte

solutions to problems in all areas of computer science: operating systems, compiler
technology, software engineering, artificial intelligence, etc.

designed to manage the computer hardware, operating system and application
software. Some of the utility software are:
