3. 3 COMP 144 Programming Language Concepts Felix Hernandez-Campos Compilation and Interpretation A compiler is a program that translates high-level source programs into target programA compiler is a program that translates high-level source programs into target program An interpreter is a program that executes another programAn interpreter is a program that executes another program

4. 4 COMP 144 Programming Language Concepts Felix Hernandez-Campos Mixing Compilation and Interpretation Fuzzy difference:Fuzzy difference: –A language is interpreted when the initial translation is simple –A language is compiled when the translation process is complicated
