Programming Language Syllabus

This section contains brief descriptions of several computer languages, with pointers to their standard versions and current Web pages added for further information. Each of these languages is supported by texts and professional references as well as compilers and interpreters.

5. Programming Error

Programming Error - Errors are the mistakes or faults in the program that causes our program to behave unexpectedly and it is no doubt that the well versed and experienced programmers also makes mistakes. Programming error are generally known as Bugs and the process to remove bugs from program is called as Debug/Debugging.

6. Compiler vs Interpreter

Compiler and interpreter both are tools to translate source code from high-level language to machine language. Both does the same task of translation. But the working mechanism of Compiler is different from interpreter . Below are some differences between compilers and interpreters

7. Interpreter

An interpreter is a program that translates source code written in high-level language to machine code. It is similar to compiler and does the same task of translation from high-level to low-level language. Despite of its similarity, the working mechanism of interpreter and compiler are different.

8. Compiler

A Compiler is a program or set of programs that converts source code written in a high-level language to low-level language (assembly language or machine language). A programming language can have many compilers. For example – GCC C, Turbo C, Quick C etc. are different compilers for C programming language.
