what is the difference between compiler and interpreter?
give any one example (software product) that act as a
interpreter?

Answer Posted / charulata

1: A compiler generally takes source code and turns it into
instructions that run on the hardware directly.
4: A compiler searches all the errors of a program and
lists them. If the program is error free then it converts
the code of program into machine code and then the program
can be executed by separate commands.
1: An interpreter generally processes the source code
directly or first tokenizes it into a byte-code type form
to interpret that.
2: An interpreter checks the errors of a program statement
by statement. After checking one statement, it converts
that statement into machine code and then executes that
statement. The process continues until the last statement
of program occurs.
