Both compiler and interpreters do the same job which is converting higher level programming language to machine code. However, a compiler will convert the code into machine code (create an exe) before program run. Interpreters convert code into machine code when the program is run.
Q. How does a Basic interpreter work?
An interpreter reads through a source program written in a high level language and performs the actions that the source program asks for. The BASIC interpreter works by reading in commands of the BASIC source program one by one. Each time it reads in a command, the interpreter does what the command asks.
Q. How do interpreters execute code?
Unlike a compiler, it doesn’t translate everything and hand over a file to us, the programmers, to execute. Instead, an interpreter will translate a single line/section of code at a time. Once it has finished translating one line, it will take the machine code version of it, and run it immediately.
Q. What is the output of interpreter?
There is no such thing as ‘output of the interpreter’. The interpreter executes compiled bytecode, or possibly source code, and its output is whatever the program being interpreted outputs. It doesn’t produce yet another object file.
Q. How can I be an interpreter?
Minimum Qualifications to Become an Interpreter
- Be 18 years or older.
- Hold a high school diploma or equivalent.
- Demonstrate bilingualism and literacy through language proficiency testing.
- Hold a certificate for professional interpreter training (at least 40 hours of training).
Q. What is interpreter with example?
An Interpreter directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language without previously converting them to an object code or machine code. Examples of interpreted languages are Perl, Python and Matlab.
Q. Which of the following is not valid for interpreter?
Discussion Forum
| Que. | Indicate which of the following is not true about interpreter ? |
|---|---|
| b. | Interpreter analyses each source statement every time it is to be executed |
| c. | Interpreter is a kind of translator |
| d. | All of above |
| Answer:Interpreter generate an object program from the source program |
Q. Which is true for interpreter?
Interpreter goes line-by-line of the program & executes line by line. Compiler processing times is less than the Interpreter because Compiler scans and translates the whole program at a time. So, S1,S2,S4 are True.
Q. What does an interpreter do computer?
An interpreter translates code into machine code, instruction by instruction – the CPU executes each instruction before the interpreter moves on to translate the next instruction. Interpreted code will show an error as soon as it hits a problem, so it is easier to debug than compiled code.
Q. What is true for the compiler?
A. It converts one statement of a program into machine language. B.An object code produced by a compiler is permanently saved for future. C.It reports all errors in a program with line numbers….Related questions.

Q. Which one is faster compiler or interpreter?
A compiled program is faster to run than an interpreted program, but it takes more time to compile and run a program than to just interpret it. A compiler indeed produces faster programs. It happens fundamentally because it must analyze each statement just once, while an interpreter must analyze it each time.
Q. What are compilers written in?
Today, the first compiler for a new language is often written in C, but when the language reaches a certain maturity it is often rewritten “in itself”. The first Java compiler was written in C, but later rewritten in Java.
Q. What does C compile to?
C typically compiles to assembler, just because that makes life easy for the poor compiler writer. Assembly code always assembles (not “compiles”) to relocatable object code. You can think of this as binary machine code and binary data, but with lots of decoration and metadata.
Q. How do C codes work?
Whenever a C program file is compiled and executed, the compiler generates some files with the same name as that of the C program file but with different extensions. The file first. c is called the source file which keeps the code of the program. Now, when we compile the file, the C compiler looks for errors.
Q. What converts code to bytecode?
Java compiler (javac)
Q. Can G ++ compile C?
(Note: G++ also compiles C++ code, but since C is directly compatible with C++, so we can use it.).
Q. What is the G ++ flag?
Basically the -g flag writes extra “debugging” information right into the generated object files (.o) and executable file. This extra information can then be used by a debugger (say gdb) to help make sense of what’s going on for the person doing the debugging.
