An interpreter is a program that reads code one line at a time, decides what that line is trying to do, and gives the appropriate output. For example, if an interpreter read this: print(“hello”); Assuming that this is the correct syntax, here is what would happen: Keyword: print Parameters: “hello” Output: hello Then it goes on to repeat this process with the next line.

According to google: 1. a person who interprets, especially one who translates speech orally or into sign language. synonyms:translator, transcriber, transliterator, decipherer; More 2. COMPUTING a program that can analyse and execute a program line by line. It's basically like code playground here on SoloLearn. It analyses each line of your code and does what the code says it should do.

It's also a pattern in OOP to handle syntax trees.
