What is the difference between a compiler and an interpreter?

In: VBNET, The Difference Between, Python Programming [Edit categories]

Answer:

A compiler translates code from a source language (e.g. C, C++, Java) to a target language, which can then be executed by a (virtual or physical) machine.

An interpreter reads code in an interpreted language (e.g. PHP, Perl, JavaScript) and directly executes the contained instructions.
