Bits/Bytes/Compiler & Interpreter

A compiler is a program converts the code into binary, and an interpreter is another program that translates from one code to another. A bit is an aspect to binary code, they are the 1's and 0's. A byte is composed of eight bits. If I want to type the letter "A", it very quickly converts the letter into binary.

1 = On
0 = Off

  1. I want to clarify this to you about Compiler and Interpreter. "A compiler searches all the errors of a program and lists them. If the program is error free then it converts the code of program into machine code and then the program can be executed by separate commands. An interpreter checks the errors of a program statement by statement."
