interpret
programming language
A formal notation for representing solutions.

Mrs. Whalen is going through her code and analyzing the syntactic structure, what is this process called?
parse
semantic error
An error in a program that makes it do something other than what the programmer intended.

define: syntax error
An error in a program that makes it impossible to parse — and therefore impossible to interpret.

A (blank) is an intermediate language between source code and object code. Many modern languages first compile source code into byte code and then interpret the byte code with a program called a virtual machine.
