Which is usually faster to run?
Short answer. Compiled code.
Which shows errors all at the end?
The compiler.
Two translators
| Point | Compiler | Interpreter |
|---|---|---|
| Reads | Whole code | Line by line |
| Errors | All at end | Stops at one |
| Makes .exe? | Yes | No |
Remember
| Interpreter stops at first error |
Compiler or interpreter. Which stops at the first error? Here is the difference. A compiler reads everything. It lists all errors. It makes an executable. An interpreter does neither. So the answer. The interpreter stops first.
