Compiler/Interpreter/Bit/Byte/UnitofMemory

Bit- digit of binary (0 or 1), (off/on)
Byte - 8 digits of binary; unit of memory, characters represented by bytes

Compiler/Interpreter - converts source code (Java, Python, C++) into binary or machine code
Compiler does it all at once after you write the code
Interpreter does it line by line when you are writing the code
