interpreters

Interpreters are tools that convert written or spoken language from one form to another, facilitating communication between people who speak different languages. In the context of programming, an interpreter translates high-level code into machine instructions line-by-line as the program runs, allowing for immediate execution and debugging. Unlike compilers, which translate the entire program before running, interpreters process code on the fly, making them flexible and useful for scripting, testing, or development environments. Overall, interpreters act as real-time translators, enabling understanding and functionality across language barriers.
