Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Compiled code runs faster than interpreted code.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Compiled languages are converted directly into machine code that the processor can execute. As a result, they tend to be faster and more efficient to execute than interpreted languages.

Detailed explanation-2: -An Interpreted language is processed at runtime. Every line is read, analysed, and executed. Having to reprocess a line every time in a loop is what makes interpreted languages so slow. This overhead means that interpreted code runs between 5-10 times slower than compiled code.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interpreted languages, in contrast, must be parsed, interpreted, and executed each time the program is run, thereby greatly adding to the cost of running the program. For this reason, interpreted programs are usually less efficient than compiled programs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interpreters usually take less amount of time to analyze the source code. However, the overall execution time is comparatively slower than compilers. Compilers usually take a large amount of time to analyze the source code. However, the overall execution time is comparatively faster than interpreters.
