Generally interpreters are faster than compilers because they directly interpret the code,whereas the compilers generate object code first and map it(object code) to the executable.
The disadvantage of interpreters is their cost.They are costlier than compilers.
Examples of compiled languages are c,c++ and interpreted languages are Perl,java etc,.

, a compiler differs from an interpreter, which analyzes and executes each line of source code in succession, without looking at the entire program. The advantage of interpreters is that they can and reorganizing the instructions.

what is the difference between compiler and interpreter?

. The interpreter translates instructions one at a time, and then executes those instructions immediately. The compiler is itself a computer program written usually in some implementation language where it was compiled.So using a compiler separates translation and execution of a program. In contrast of an interpreted program the source code is translated only once....Interpretor translate

What is the advantages that a compiler has over an interpreter and the advantages an interpreter has over an compiler?

To run a program youve written, eg in JAVA, it must first be translated into machine code so the computer can read it. This is what compilers and interpreters do.However, compilers convert the code youve finished writing it, because it would waste CPU time. Because of this, once code is done, it is normally compiled so that it runs faster and takes up less space. Another advantage

WHAT IS JAVA ?

program is compiled into what Java calls bytecode, which can be run anywhere in a network on a server or client that has a Java virtual machine. The Java virtual machine interprets the bytecode into code that dynamically compiles bytecode into executable code as an alternative to interpreting one bytecode instruction at a time. In many cases, the dynamic JIT compilation is faster than the virtual machine
