| Output | It generates intermediate object code. | It does not produce any intermediate object code. |
Working mechanism
| The compilation is done before execution. | Compilation and execution take place simultaneously. |
Speed
| Comparatively faster | Slower |
Memory
| Memory requirement is more due to the creation of object code. | It requires less memory as it does not create intermediate object code. |
Errors
| Display all errors after compilation, all at the same time. | Displays error of each line one by one. |
| Error detection | Difficult | Easier comparatively |
Pertaining Programming languages
