Differentiate between compiler and interpreter?

Answer Posted / hikaru lee

compiler is a program that translates code of a programming
language in machine code. it is a special program that
processes statements written in a particular programming
language ang converts them into machine language, a "binary
program" or "code", that a computer processor uses while
interpreters translate code one line a time, executing each
line as it is "translated" much the way a foreign language
interpreter would translate a book, y translating one line
it a time. interpreters do generate bnary code, but that
code is never compiled into one program entity.
