Interpreter (computing)

In computer science, an interpreter is a computer program that executes, or performs, instructions written in a computer programming language. Interpretation is one of the two major ways in which a programming language can be implemented, the other being compilation.The term interpreter may refer to a program that executes source code that has already been translated to some intermediate form, or it may refer to the program that performs both the translation and execution (e.g., many BASIC implementations).
