language Processor 

Language processor is a special type of computer software that helps to translate one language to another language and so on. it is also called a language translator.

It translates the source codes to machine codes. 

Examples of language processors:

It includes the following language processors that are as follows:

a Fortran processor and a COBOL processor.

Language processor |Interpreter, Compiler, Assembler

1. interpreter:

             It translates the program written in a high-level language into machine language. It translates one program one after another. here, the overall execution time is slower.

       SOURCE CODE---------INTERPRETER----------------OBJECT CODE

2. Compiler:

               It translates the program written in a high-level language into machine language. it translates the whole program at once. overall execution time is very fast.

C,C++ use compilers.

         SOURCE CODE---------COMPILER----------------OBJECT CODE

3. Assembler:

                  It translates the program written in an assembly language into machine language.

  SOURCE CODE---------ASSEMBLER----------------OBJECT CODE
