Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Interpreter translates and executes program at run time line by line. an interpreter is a computer program that directly executes, i.e. performs, instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.

Detailed explanation-2: -An interpreter translates source code into object code one instruction at a time. It is similar to a human translator translating what a person says into another language, sentence by sentence. The resulting object code is then executed immediately. The process is called interpretation .

Detailed explanation-3: -An interpreter on the other hand, interprets and translates a program written in high-level language to low-level language line by line. An assembler translates a program written in a low-level language (assembly language) into machine code so that it can be directly used by a computer to perform a required task.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interpreter. Interpreter programs are able to read, translate and execute one statement at a time from a high-level language program.
