2. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)

   In computer science, an interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program. An interpreter generally uses one of the following strategies for program execution:

3. Translator (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translator_(computing)

   There are clear benefits when translating high-level code with an interpreter. Since object code is not created in the interpretation process, less memory is required for the code. [5] Interpreter languages do not create machine-specific code and can be executed on any type of machine. [7]

4. BASIC interpreter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_interpreter

   First implemented as a compile-and-go system rather than an interpreter, BASIC emerged as part of a wider movement towards time-sharing systems. General Electric, having worked on the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System and its associated Dartmouth BASIC, wrote their own underlying operating system and launched an online time-sharing system known as Mark I featuring a BASIC compiler (not an ...

5. Shell (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computing)

   In computing, a shell is a computer program that exposes an operating system's services to a human user or other programs. In general, operating system shells use either a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), depending on a computer's role and particular operation. It is named a shell because it is the outermost layer ...

6. Programming language implementation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language...

   In computer programming, a programming language implementation is a system for executing computer programs. There are two general approaches to programming language implementation: [1] Interpretation: The program is read as input by an interpreter, which performs the actions written in the program. [2]

7. Execution (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(computing)

   Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual machine interprets and acts on the instructions of a computer program.Each instruction of a program is a description of a particular action which must be carried out, in order for a specific problem to be solved.

8. Compiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

   In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language). The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language (e.g ...

9. Symbol table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_table

   In computer science, a symbol table is a data structure used by a language translator such as a compiler or interpreter, where each identifier, symbol, constant, procedure and function in a program's source code is associated with information relating to its declaration or appearance in the source. In other words, the entries of a symbol table ...
