interpreter
An executive routine that translates a stored program expressed in some machine-like pseudo code into machine code and performs the indicated operations, by means of subroutines, as they are translated. An interpreter is essentially a closed subroutine that operates successively on an indefinitely long sequence of program parameters, the pseudo instructions, and operands.
