Explanation : Compiler Vs
Interpreter
Just understand
the concept of the compiler and interpreter -
1. We
give complete program as input to the compiler. Our program is in the human
readable format.
2.
Human readable format undergoes many passes
and phases of compiler and finally it is converted into the machine readable
format.
3.
However interpreter takes single line of
code as input at a time and execute that line. It will terminate the execution
of the code as soon as it finds the error.
4.
Memory requirement is less in Case of
interpreter because no object code is created in case of interpreter.
