Detailed explanation-1: -A compiled program is faster to run than an interpreted program, but it takes more time to compile and run a program than to just interpret it. A compiler indeed produces faster programs. It happens fundamentally because it must analyze each statement just once, while an interpreter must analyze it each time.
Detailed explanation-2: -In general, interpreted programs are slower than compiled programs, but are easier to debug and revise. Other examples of interpreted languages include JavaScript and Python.
Detailed explanation-3: -Programs that are compiled into native machine code tend to be faster than interpreted code. This is because the process of translating code at run time adds to the overhead, and can cause the program to be slower overall.
