Translators
Any program written in a high-level language is known as source code. However, computers cannot understand source code. Before it can be run, source code must first be translated into machine code.
A translator is a program that converts source code into machine code. Generally, there are three types of translator:
- -compilers
- -interpreters
- -assemblers
