A programmer is a personified being that takes in coffee and produces code😂 An interpreter stays low key to render the work of the programmer

A programmer is person who create computer software's while interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.

There are also human interpreters who translate from one human language to another. A programmer translates requirements into a programming language for a computer.

Assuming that by 'Programmer' you meant 'Compiler' or 'IDE' (otherwise it wouldn't make sense) For starters, A compiler translates the Entire code of your project to a lower level language . Whereas, an interpreter directly executes the instructions of your code line by line by generating an immediate efficient intermediate representation. However, IDEs are basically software tools that enables you to write, edit and debug your codes. Usually it's compiler or interpreter's job to convert the code you have written on your IDE to it's more efficient representation.

Programmer writes the code but interpreter changes this source code into machine code so it can understandable by computer.

A computer programmer figures out the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language so the computer can 'understand' it. And  interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.

Interpreter- It takes less amount of time to analyze the source code but the overall execution time is slower. Programmer-A programmer is an individual that writes/creates computer software or applications by giving the computer specific programming instructions

The interpreter is the software you use to run what a programmer already write. So programmer is the person and interpreter is where the code is written.

a programmer takes in local language and converts it into foreign language(code) an interpreter takes in foreign language and turns it into local language 😂
