6. A compiler is a program that translates a high-level language program into a separate
machine language program. The machine language program can then be executed any time
it is needed. An interpreter is a program that both translates and executes the instructions in
a high-level language program. As the interpreter reads each individual instruction in the
program, it converts it to a machine language instruction and then immediately executes it.
Because interpreters combine translation and execution, they typically do not create separate
machine language programs.
