    Program execution. In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language). The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming ...

  3. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

    A compiler can thus make almost all the conversions from source code semantics to the machine level once and for all (i.e. until the program has to be changed) while an interpreter has to do some of this conversion work every time a statement or function is executed. However, in an efficient interpreter, much of the translation work (including ...

    Comparison of HTML parsers. HTML parsers are software for automated Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) parsing. They have two main purposes: HTML traversal: offer an interface for programmers to easily access and modify the "HTML string code". Canonical example: DOM parsers.

    v. t. e. Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1][2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages. Programmers typically use high-level ...

    At first he tried to write a Fortran compiler, but he soon gave up the idea. Instead, he created a cut-down version of the recently developed systems programming language called BCPL . The official description of BCPL was not available at the time, [ 14 ] and Thompson modified the syntax to be less wordy and similar to a simplified ALGOL known ...

    C-sharp musical note. The name "C sharp" was inspired by the musical notation whereby a sharp symbol indicates that the written note should be made a semitone higher in pitch. [38] This is similar to the language name of C++, where "++" indicates that a variable should be incremented by 1 after being evaluated.
