give any one example (software product) that act as a
interpreter?

Answer Posted / sushant tambad

compiler:translates the entire program.
interpreter:translates the program line by line.
compiler:requires more main memory.
interpretor:requires less memory.
compiler:converts the entire program to machine code,where all the syntax error are removed and executes the machine code.
interpretor:each time the program is executed every line is checked for syntax then converts to equivalent object code directly.
compiler : execution time is less
interpretor: execution time is more
