  1. Interpreters and Compilers By Louis Patience

  2. Interpreter • An interpreter takes each line of high level language and translates it into machine code so the processor can understand it and carry out that instruction. • It then works its way through the program one line at a time in this way • An interpreter is basically a translator, it translates high level languages to machine code and it does so at a few sentences at a time.

  3. Interpreter – Advantages & Disadvantages

  4. Compiler • A compiler takes your high level language and translates the whole program into machine code once. • The machine code can then be saved and kept and does not need to be translated before it is run. • This is an example of .exe file. • Software that you buy, such as a game or an application, will have to be compiled into machine code before being distributed and sold.
