An interpreter is a type of computer program that reads, analyzes, and directly executes source code. Unlike a compiler that translates the entire source code into an executable file, the interpreter analyzes the code line by line and executes it directly as it interprets it. This means that an interpreter converts the code into machine code or another executable form during runtime without generating a separate executable file. An interpreter is often used for programming languages like Python, JavaScript, and Ruby to convert the source code into instructions that the computer can execute.
