Interpreter (computing)
In
computer science
, an
interpreter
is a
computer program
that directly
executes
, i.e.
performs
, instructions written in a
programming
or
scripting language
, without previously
compiling
them into a
machine language
program. An interpreter generally uses one of the following strategies for program execution:
parse
the
source code
and perform its behavior directly.
translate source code into some efficient
intermediate representation
and immediately execute this.
explicitly execute stored precompiled code made by a
compiler
which is part of the interpreter system.
