difference between compiler and interpreter

KEY DIFFERENCE

1. Compiler transforms code written in a high-level programming language into 
the machine code, at once, before program runs, whereas an Interpreter converts
each high-level program statement, one by one, into the machine code, during 
program run.

2. Compiled code runs faster while interpreted code runs slower.

3. Compiler displays all errors after compilation, on the other hand, 
the Interpreter displays errors of each line one by one.

4. Compiler is based on translation linking-loading model, 
whereas Interpreter is based on Interpretation Method.

5. Compiler takes an entire program whereas the Interpreter takes a single 
line of code.
