What happens when there is an error in the statement in an interpreter?
What happens when there is an error in the statement in an interpreter?
- The interpreter displays an error message and terminates the translating process (correct)
- The interpreter waits for the user to fix the error before continuing
- The interpreter continues to the next line of execution
- The interpreter ignores the error and continues execution
What is the main difference between an interpreter and a compiler?
What is the main difference between an interpreter and a compiler?
- Interpreters are faster than compilers, while compilers are more efficient
- Interpreters execute instructions directly, while compilers first convert the program to an intermediate representation
- Interpreters generate machine code, while compilers generate object code
- Interpreters translate one line at a time, while compilers translate the entire program at once (correct)
