Suppose in a source-code file, the 4th line contains the first syntax
error.Can anybody please tell me how the compiler and interpreter will
behave when the given file will be the input to them?

My guess is that the compiler will go through the entire file and will
report all the syntax errors in the file while the interpreter will
stop its execution exactly after the 4th line and will say that there
is a syntax error in the 4th line.

Thanks
