(a) A compiler translates the whole source code first before execution starts whereas an interpreter translates the next line and so on until the whole conversion is complete.
(b) A compiler produces and stores objects code after compilation whereas an interpreter produces but does not store object code after interpretation.
(c) A compiler occupies large memory to store compiled executable (exe) object code.
An interpreter occupies less memory because it does not store executable object code.
(d) Compilers are faster because they translate the entire source code at once and store the object code.
Interpreters are generally slower than compiled programs due to the per-line translation method.
