S.NO.COMPILERINTERPRETER1.Compiler scans the whole program in one go.Translates program one statement at a time.2.As it scans the code in one go, the errors (if any) are shown at the end together.Considering it scans code one line at a time, errors are shown line by line.3.Main advantage of compilers is it’s execution time.Due to interpreters being slow in executing the object code, it is preferred less.4.It converts the the instructions into systematic code.It doesn’t convert the instructions instead it directly works on source language.

1.	Compiler scans the whole program in one go.	Translates program one statement at a time.
2.	As it scans the code in one go, the errors (if any) are shown at the end together.	Considering it scans code one line at a time, errors are shown line by line.
3.	Main advantage of compilers is it’s execution time.	Due to interpreters being slow in executing the object code, it is preferred less.
4.	It converts the the instructions into systematic code.	It doesn’t convert the instructions instead it directly works on source language.
