LANGUAGE

PROCESSORS
The language processor that
translates the complete source
program as a whole in machine code
before execution is called compiler.
The C and C++ compilers are the
best examples of compilers. The
program translated in machine is
called object program. The source
code is translated to the object code
successfully if it is free of errors. If
there are any errors in the source
code, the compiler specifies the
errors at the end of the compilation.
The errors must be
removed before the compiler
can successfully compile the
source code. The object
program can be executed in a
number of times without
translating it again.

The language processor that translates (converts) each statement of source program into

an interpreter. If there is an error in the statement the interpreter terminates its translating
