Compiler Vs Interpreter
In the system both the compiler and interpreter are the same they convert high-level code to machine code. The interpreter converts source code into the machine when the program runs in a system while a compiler converts the source code into machine code before the program runs in our system.
Compiler |
Interpreter |
---|---|
The compiler is faster, as conversion occurs before the program executes. |
The interpreter runs slower as the execution occurs simultaneously. |
Errors are detected during the compilation phase and displayed before the execution of a program. |
Errors are identified and reported during the given actual runtime. |
Compile code needs to be recompiled to run on different machines. |
Interpreted code is more portable as it can run on any machine with the appropriate interpreter. |
It requires more memory to translate the whole source code at once. |
It requires less memory than compiled ones. |
Debugging is more complex due to batch processing of the code. |
Debugging is easier due to the line-by-line execution of a code. |
Internal working of Python
Python is an object-oriented programming language like Java. Python is called an interpreted language. Python uses code modules that are interchangeable instead of a single long list of instructions that was standard for functional programming languages. The standard implementation of Python is called “cpython”. It is the default and widely used implementation of Python.
