1. Translators

   • Assembler
     • Translates assembly code into low - level machine code
     • Translates from nmemonics
   • Compiler
     • Translates the code all in one go, meaning the time is initially slower, but is overall faster than an interpreter. It takes up less memory and lists all mistakes at the end of the translation.
   • Interpreter
     • Translates code one line at a time, making it slower than a compiler overall
     • Lists mistakes after each line, making them easier to correct and manage

2. Tools

   • Code Editor
     • Organizes and aids in code writing by color coding phrases, auto completing bracket pairs and indenting lines
   • Debugger
     • Finds, highlights and fixes errors
   • Translator
     • Compiles and interprets the high level code to machine code to be run by the sytem
   • Run time environment
