Here is the Basic Difference between Compiler vs Interpreter Language.

Compiler Language

• Takes entire program as single input and converts it into object code which is stored in the file.
• Intermediate Object code is generated
• e.g: C,C++
• Compiled programs run faster because compilation is done before execution.
• Memory requirement is more due to the creation of object code.
• Error are displayed after the entire program is compiled
• Source code ---Compiler ---Machine Code ---Output

Interpreter Language:

• Takes single instruction as single input and executes instructions.
• Intermediate Object code is NOT generated
• e.g: Perl, Python, Matlab
• Interpreted programs run slower because compilation and execution take place simultaneously.
• Memory requirement is less.
• Error are displayed for every single instruction.
• Source Code ---Interpreter ---Output
