Hey!

A computer interpreter is a type of program that directly executes instructions written in a programming language, without needing them to be compiled into machine code first. Unlike a compiler, which translates the entire code into machine language before running it, an interpreter reads and executes the code line by line.

This means that if there’s an error, it will stop at that line and report it, making it easier to debug. However, interpreted languages tend to run slower compared to compiled languages because the interpreter needs to analyze each line at runtime.

Languages like Python, JavaScript, and Ruby are commonly interpreted. Interpreters are great for quickly testing and running code, especially during development.
