Hello,<br>
<br>
I know nothing about compilers and interpreters. I checked several<br>
books, but none of them explained why we have to translate a<br>
high-level language into a small (core) language. Is it impossible<br>
(very hard) to directly translate high-level language into machine<br>
code?<br>
<br>
