Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2015). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

[1 mark] takes one statement at a time and executes it -> Interpreter
[1 mark] generates an error report at the end of translation of the whole program -> Compiler
[1 mark] stops the translation process as soon as the first error is encountered -> Interpreter
[1 mark] slow speed of execution of program loops -> Interpreter
[1 mark] translates the entire program in one go -> Compiler
