  1. (C) identify the function and operation of compilers and interpreters Anthony Delgado

  2. complier • A compiler is a computer program(or set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The most common reason for wanting to transform source code is to create an executable program. • The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language or machine code). If the compiled program can run on a computer whose CPU or operating system is different from the one on which the compiler runs, the compiler is known as a cross-compiler

  3. Interpreters • In computer science, an interpreter is a computer program that directly executes, i.e. performs, instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without previously batch-compiling them into machine language. An interpreter generally uses one of the following strategies for program execution: • parse the source code and perform its behavior directly • translate source code into some efficient intermediatrepresentation and immediately execute this • explicitly execute stored precompiled codemade by a compiler which is part of the interpreter system

  4. review • What is a compliers used for • Do interpreters pass directly or process • What part of system is interpreters • if there with a cpu what are compliers called • How do interpreters do there job
