Amina writes her application in a ..... language. This is easy for humans to read and write, but it must be translated into machine code before the processor can execute it.
An ..... translates and executes the source code one line at a time. If it encounters a syntax error, execution ..... immediately and an error is reported. This makes this type of translator highly suitable for ..... during development.
Conversely, a compiler translates the entire source code file in one overall process. The final product is a machine-specific ..... file that can be distributed and run directly by the user.
