With this, it is easier to detect errors than in a compiler. It converts the program one at a time and reports errors detected at once while doing the conversion.

Just like a compiler, is a translator used to convert high-level programming language to low-level programming language. Before choosing a compiler, the user has to identify first the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), the operating system (OS), and the programming language that will be used to ensure that it will be compatible. But it has been addressed by a special compiler, a cross-compiler and a source-to-source compiler. The compiler takes time to do its work as it translates high-level code to lower-level code all at once and then saves it to memory.Ī compiler is processor-dependent and platform-dependent. It converts the whole program in one session and reports errors detected after the conversion. There are 3 different types of translators as follows: CompilerĪ compiler is a translator used to convert high-level programming language to low-level programming language. It translates a high-level language program into a machine language program that the central processing unit (CPU) can understand. It discovers and identifies the error during translation. It takes a program written in source code and converts it into machine code. A translator is a programming language processor that converts a computer program from one language to another.
