Well, Java is a high level programming language.And when it comes to a certain high level programming language, we need a language processor in order to convert or translate the program or code written in that language to a form which could be understood by the computer. Now here we require some language processor. Java( language) uses a java compiler for the conversion of a high level language java code to an intermediate code known as BYTECODE. ( this byte code is the key feature through which java claims PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE). In order to execute this byte code , again a translator is required known as java interpreter. Thus, we can say that java language uses both a compiler and an interpreter for a basic program to run. read less
