JVM is an Interpreter because it interprets the Java Byte Code which it is feed and then it executes it line by line.
yes it is.
no jvm is not a part of java compiler
Java has both a compiled and an interpreted stage.1) The programmer writes his source codes (.java extension); a compiler will compile this to bytecode (.class extension).2) When the end-user runs the .class program, the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) will interpret this.
combination of interpreter and compiler.
Due to platform independence, a Java compiler will interpret Java source code into Java Byte Code and pass to the JVM, which will pass machine understandable code through to cpu. (clarification needed).A conventional compiler converts source code directly to machine code.(clarification needed).
Basically they do the same: converting from one level of language into another. A compiler converts high level language (programming language like java) into machine-language. That is language a computer understands. An interpreter converts high level language into an intermediate level. When a program is exectuted, that intermediate level is reconverted to machine language.
its an interpreter
because the compiler convert whole of the sentence once into the machine langauge but the interpreter convert one by one
A compiled program would execute faster than an interpreter running the same code step by step.
There is no point in comparison.
A htm file is interpreted, not compiled. A browser acts as the interpreter.
You will have to ask the compiler and interpreter writers that question. What I can tell you with certainty, at one time all programs were hand assembled.
