A translator that converts and executes high-level code line by line.

Easier to read, write, and debug; portable across different hardware.

More control over hardware; can be more efficient in terms of performance.

Less control over hardware and may be less efficient than low-level languages.

Harder to write, read, and debug; not portable across different hardware.
