Compiler vs Interpreter

Binary

• machine code
• set of instructions given to machine and run by its CPU
• low level
• Translated result from source code

Compiler

• Takes high level language and converts it into machine code
• Goes through the whole source code and translates them in one go.

Interpreter

• Takes high level language and converts it into machine code and then
  executes the code immediately.
• Translates piece by piece and executes piece by piece.
