Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A compiled language translates the entire source code into machine code before execution, resulting in faster program execution compared to interpreted or assembled languages. When all statements in a high-level source program are translated as a complete unit before any statement is executed, the programming language is a compiled language. In compiled languages, the program is translated into machine code by a compiler and executed directly by the computer without the need for an interpreter or assembler. This results in faster execution and better performance than interpreted or assembled languages.
