What is the difference between a compiler and an interpreter in terms of error handling?
Compilers find errors at runtime; interpreters find them during translation.
Interpreters find errors at compile time; compilers find them at runtime.
Compilers typically report all errors before execution; interpreters may stop at the first error.
Both report all errors at runtime.
