What is the difference between assemblers interpreters and compilers?

Answer 1

Assemblers convert Assembly code to machine code Interpreters convert high level code to real-time machine code and store it in the memory for direct execution Compilers convert high level code to real-time machine code or some intermediate code and store it in a file for later execution Assemblers use the basic building blocks of the command processor code to write programs and is the language closest to the binary on which all computers operate, although it is difficult to use it does work well for things like networking and communication protocols. Interpreters are just what they say, they translate the code in real time as you operate the program, then process it, and are therefore the slowest. Compilers translate the code into a format the computer understands prior to the execution (or distribution) of the code and is therefore the easiest to use as it combines the better attributes of both programming methods into one easy to use package.
