An interpreter, in computer programming, is software that takes an accepted syntax, and "interprets" it for the processor, which then executes the results of the interpretation. This is different than a compiler, which directly outputs machine code into a separate binary file (C++ falls in this category), and also different from a script, which is typically run without an integrated, interactive debugging environment (Perl falls in this category).
BASIC is a programming language that was designed to be a beginner's programming language, lacking many features that would be found in many "complicated" languages, such as object-oriented programming, template programming, etc. Many other features, such as function calls, were made explicit compared to other similar languages. For example, in most languages, you would simply type the name of a function to execute it, while in BASIC, you would use GOSUB to explicitly call the function.

Which type of translater is used by GW BASIC either compiler or interpreter?
its an interpreter
What reads a code statement converts it to one or more machine language instructions?
an interpreter Many flavors of BASIC could run as interpreters. One advantage is that it is possible for an interpreter's program to actually modify itself as it runs.
What was the name of the language Gates and Allen sold Ed Roberts?
It was Altair Basic: an Altair emulator that would run on a mini-computer and the Basic interpreter.
Is the instructions programmers have written in a higher level language?
"BASIC" is not a program, it is a programming language. A particular BASIC-interpreter or IDE may have been written in a high level language, maybe even in BASIC (C is more plausible though).
What is the difference between interpreter and parser and compiler?
in my personal point of view i would say a parser is more like "one-directional" "automatic" vs. an interpreter, the interpreter has more "intelligence"

Trying to install a new hard drive on a toshiba t2130cs laptop has 530 bios installed but receive a no ROM basic installed any ideas where you can obtain this from?
"ROM Basic" refers to the BASIC interpreter found in old IBM PCs. When the hard drive was not installed properly, you would be dropped into the BASIC interpreter instead. Most PC clones, including your laptop, do not include a BASIC interpreter. Make sure that you have installed the hard drive properly, and that you have installed an operating system on it. Otherwise, the laptop will not be able to boot.

What the basic component of system units?
system components are javac ,jvm,interpreter, source code, classfile etc
Who is the best between a compiler and an interpreter?
There are very few languages (e.g. old BASIC variants in hobby computers) that have both interpreter and compiler, so your question hardly makes sense. Simply pick a language, and use it.
What was Bill Gates goal?
Develop BASIC interpreter for microcomputers.Use that as an initial product for a software company and make lots of money
BASIC is a.... language?
The original BASIC would be considered an "interpreted" language; the instructions were never translated to machine code, but rather executed as the interpreter reads them. Visual Basic converts the commands into equivalent C++ programs, and then compiles them.
Who was the interpreter?
In the movie "The Interpreter"? Nicole Kidman.

When was The Interpreter released?
The Interpreter was released on 04/22/2005.
