interpreter

Interpreter

A program that will read the code of a specific language, compile it, and load it into the systems memory. Every time this program is run, it must be re-interpreted, and therefore interpreted languages can never be as fast as fully compiled languages. Languages that use interpreters include Basic (and specialized forms such as QBasic) , Perl, PHP, MUMPS, and many others.
