Answer :
An editor enables code entry and modification, while an interpreter executes software development program files directly without converting them into executables. Option 1.
An editor is a text or code editor that allows programmers to create, modify, and save program files. It provides a user-friendly interface for writing and editing code. Programmers use editors like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or Notepad++ to write code in a human-readable format.
These editors do not execute the code; instead, they are used to create and edit source code files, which can be saved with various file extensions (e.g., .py for Python, .cpp for C++).
On the other hand, an interpreter (Option 4) is a program that reads and executes code written in a high-level programming language. It does not convert the code into an executable program or produce an indexed database of terms. Interpreters directly translate and execute the code line by line, allowing developers to see the immediate results of their code without the need for compilation.
Examples of interpreted languages include Python, Ruby, and JavaScript.
So Option 1 is correct.
