The main difference between an interpreter and a compiler is that compilation requires analysis and the generation of machine code only once, whereas an interpreter may need to analyse and interpret the same program statements each time it meets them e.g. instructions appearing within a loop. For example the following Visual Basic code would be interpreted each time the loop is entered:
For iCountvar = To 20 iSum = iSum + iCountvar Pic.Display iSum Next iCountvar
