Detailed explanation-1: -An Interpreter directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language without previously converting them to an object code or machine code. Interpreted languages are Perl, Python, and Matlab.
Detailed explanation-2: -Compilers are a type of translator that support digital devices, primarily computers. The name compiler is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program.
Detailed explanation-3: -Low-level languages can convert to machine code without a compiler or interpreter-second-generation programming languages use a simpler processor called an assembler-and the resulting code runs directly on the processor.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are generally three types of language-translator-Compiler, Assembler, Interpreter. Linker is not language-translator.
