Umar Ijaz 2 0 1 7 - A G - 7 9 2 9 Uaf Sub Campus TTS: Subject: CS-603

The document provides an overview of compilers, interpreters, and assemblers, explaining their roles in translating programming languages. Compilers convert high-level source code into low-level machine code, while interpreters execute high-level instructions directly, allowing for faster debugging. Assemblers convert assembly language into machine code, functioning similarly to compilers but with a one-to-one mapping.

COMPILER
 compiler is a computer program
 translates computer code written in
one programming,language
 (the source language) into another language
(the target language).
The name "compiler" is primarily used for
programs that translate source code from a 
high-level programming language to low-
level language
Why we use compiler
Because computer can't understand the source
code directly. It will understand only object level
code.
Source codes are human readable format but the
system cannot understand it.
 the compiler is intermediate between human
readable format and machine-readable format.
How we use compiler
When you run a compiler on your code, first, the
preprocessor reads the source code.
The preprocessor searches for any preprocessor
directives (lines of code starting with a #
 the compiler works through the preprocessed
code line by line translating each line into the
appropriate machine language instruction.
interpreter
 interpreter is used to directly execute program
instructions written using one of the many high-
level programming Lang.
 interpreter transforms the high-level program
into an intermediate language.
which is done line by line or statement by
statement.
Faster debugging
More run time
Assembler
An assembler is a program that converts 
assembly language into machine code.
Assemblers are similar to compilers in that they
produce executable code.
assembling a program is performed using a simple
one-to-one mapping
