    Compilers translate source code written in one programming language into an equivalent target language like machine code, improving productivity over writing in assembly or machine language directly. Compilers analyze, transform, and generate code, while interpreters execute programs directly without translation to an intermediate form. Both compilers and interpreters check for errors, but compilers generate native programs for faster execution compared to interpreted programs.

    q Compiler vs Interpreter
    Why Compiler
    • Writing machine language-numeric codes is time consuming
    and tedious
    • The assembly language has a number of defects
    • Not easy to write
    • Difficult to read and understand
    Language Processing System
    Compilers and Interpreters
    • “Compilation”
    • Translation of a program written in a source language into a semantically
    equivalent program written in a target language

    Compilers and Interpreters (cont’d)
    • “Interpretation”
    • a program that reads an executable program and produces the results of
    running that program
    • usually, this involves executing the source program in some fashion
