Compiler Vs Interpreter

Top 6 Differences between Compiler and Interpreter

A compiler translates programming language into machine code & creates an executable file. It requires the entire code to be compiled before the execution.

What is Compiler?

An interpreter converts program statements into machine code & executes it line by line. It does not create an executable file & requires less time to execute than a compiler.

What is an Interpreter?

- Compiler analyzes the entire program in one go. - The interpreter performs a line-by-line analysis on program.

Comparison based on Analysis

Comparison based on Machine Code

- Compiler stores machine code on disk storage. - The interpreter does not store machine code.

Comparison based on Execution

- Compiler executes the program after the entire program is compiled. - An interpreter executes the program after every line is evaluated, resulting in error execution line by line.

Comparison based on Error & Error execution

- In a compiler, errors are displayed only after the entire compilation. - In an interpreter, errors are shown line by line during execution.

- A compiled program runs faster than an interpreted program since it consumes less time. - An interpreted program runs slower because it consumes more time.

Comparison based on Run-Time

- Compilation produces an output program that can run independently from source file. - Interpretation does not produce any output program & is evaluated every time program is executed.

Comparison based on Output Generation
