WHAT IS PROGRAMMING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Interpreting is fast but takes longer to run the program when finished
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

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. Intermediate to computer-specific compiled programs and interpreted scripts are programs designed for runtime environments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interpreting code is slower than running the compiled code because the interpreter must analyze each statement in the program each time it is executed and then perform the desired action, whereas the compiled code just performs the action within a fixed context determined by the compilation.

Detailed explanation-4: -A compiler typically runs a program faster because it translates an entire program at once. Meanwhile, the interpreter translates a program line by line. This makes its overall speed and execution slower.
