Answer 3

Hey Roxtar Rahul
To further illustrate what GAWEN STEASY has already written( which is correct.. btw)
Compiler is like an interpreter between you and the computer...The computer understands a language that is different from the language of your code so for it to do exactly as you command, the Compiler comes in and reads your code, then interprets it to the computer and the computer, then acts accordingly.
Imagine, asking a deaf and dumb to make you breakfast when you don't know nor understand sign language... he won't do anything until someone interprets it with signs to him.. The interpreter here is like the Compiler on the computer...
Hope that helps.
