Compiler	Interpreter
1. Compiler takes entire program as input.	1. Interpreter takes single instruction as input.
2. Conditional control statements execute faster.	2. Conditional control statements execute slower.
3. Memory requirement is more (since, object code is generated).	3. Memory requirement is less.
4. Errors are displayed after entire program is checked.	4. Errors are displayed for every instruction interpreted.
5. e.g. Compiler in C language.	5. e.g. Interpreter in Basic language.
