What is a programming language?
A programming language is written by human beings to perform some operation in an electronic machine. In other words, A programming language is a set of instructions that is given to a translator, where a translator can be Interpreter or Compiler. A Machine understands the binary language that is in the form of 0's and 1's. To convert the programming language into Binary language, either Interpreter or Compilers are used. Now, what is the basic difference between a compiler and an interpreter? - An Interpreter converts the programming language line by line, whereas compiler converts all at once.
