Analysis and Implementation: Programming languages are implemented via programs, such as interpreters or compilers, that take as input a program in a programming language, analyze the program to make sure it has esstential properties, and then either execute the program directly or output a program in a lower-level language for subsequent execution on a (virtual) computing machine.
