Question

Is there any technical difference between a REPL and an interpreter?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Interactive interpreters use REPLs. An interpreter is not required to have one. You can run Python, for example, in non-interactive mode (on a file) and it will not use a read-eval-print loop.
