Compiler Vs Interpreter

Compilers	Interpreters
Conversion of source files to executable is done at one and for all files. So, in this environment, generating the executable code takes more time than interpreter environment. But once the executable is generated, the execution will be much faster compared to interpreter	Conversion will be done statement by statement at the execution time. So, the execution takes more time.
Development cycle is: Code -> Preprocess -> compile -> Link->execute	Development cycle is: Code -> Load-> execute
When the programs are large, the time taken create the executable will be more. So, there is longer waiting time before any testing is started	Waiting time to start testing is less.
