Language processors: Translator, Assembler, Compiler, Interpreter.


Translator: The program, which is used for translating code that a programmer writes into a form that the computer can execute (machine code), is called translator.

There are 3 types of system software used for translating__
1.      Compiler.
2.      Interpreter.
3.      Assembler.


Compiler: A compiler is a translator program that translates a high-level language program into machine language instructions all at a time.



Interpreter: An Interpreter is also a translator program that translates high-level source code into executable code.



Assembler: An assembler converts an assembly program into machine code. An assembly language is a low-level programming language for computers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and other programmable devices.
