How is an interpreter different from a compiler?

An interpreter translates and executes code line by line, while a compiler translates all code at once so that it is ready to be executed at any time.

An interpreter translates all code at once so that it is ready to be executed at any time, while a compiler translates and executes code line by line.

An interpreter translates programming code into binary language, while a compiler does not.

An interpreter translates binary language into programming language, while a compiler translates programming language into binary language.

Binary is best interpreted by a computer because

it is a simple system using patterns of three numbers.

the numbers in the system represent the on and off positions of the switches in a computer’s hardware.

it is broken down into bits.

it can be easily converted to the decimal system.

What is a compiler?

a tool used to integrate multiple software programs

a tool used to extract a single software program from an integrated collection of programs
