Interpreter: Examples of Compiled Programming Languages Are and

A language translator converts source code into an equivalent program in another language, while a compiler converts a high-level language program into machine code and reports any errors. An interpreter directly executes instructions in a programming language without converting it to machine code first. This document discusses seven reasons for studying programming languages: for advancing computing, understanding implementation significance, gaining a new problem-solving perspective, automating processes, creating useful software/applications, and enabling innovations like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more.

A language translator is a software which translates the programs from a source language that are in

human readable form into an equivalent program in an object language.

A compiler is a program that reads a program written in the high-level language and converts it into the
machine or low-level language and reports the errors present in the program. Examples of compiled
programming languages are C and C++.

An Interpreter directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language


without previously converting them to an object code or machine code. Examples of interpreted
languages are Perl, Python and Matlab.

Why study Programming Language

1. Overall advancement of computing

2. Understanding the significance of implementation


3. Programming ability gives new perspective to problem solving
4. Programming is important for speeding up the input and output processes in a machine.

5. Programming is important to automate, collect, manage, calculate, analyze processing of data and
information accurately.

6. Programming is important to create software and applications that help computer and mobile
users in daily life.

7. programming languages are the reasons behind the innovations in information technologies. Eg
robots, artificial intelligence, machine learning, bitcoins, the blockchain, IOT (Internet of Things),
Cloud Computing etc. new technology and products in IT industry, then it’s because of
programming languages.
