The main differences between compiler and interpreter are listed below:
1 The
interpreter takes one statement then translates it and executes it and
then takes another statement. While the compiler translates the entire
program in one go and then executes it.
2 Compiler
generates the error report after the translation of the entire page
while an interpreter will stop the translation after it gets the first
error.
3 Compiler
takes a larger amount of time in analyzing and processing the high
level language code comparatively interpreter takes lesser time in the
same process.
4 Besides
the processing and analyzing time the overall execution time of a code
is faster for compiler relative to the interpreter.
