Explanation
An interpreter is a program that translates code written in a high-level language (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Ruby) line by line and executes it immediately. This means it reads a line of code, translates it into machine code that the computer can understand, and then executes that code. It then moves on to the next line of code and repeats the process.
