A compiler is a program that converts (compiles) a source program representing a program into the machine code necessary to actually execute it.

An interpreter is a program that processes the source code on the fly, and emulates (interprets) the program, giving the impression that it executed it.

C is an example of a compiled language.

JAVA is an example of an interpreted language.

Compiler, interpreter and assembler are system programs that translate your source code in a language that machines can understand(binary).
