Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of language is translated entirely into machine language before use?
A
Compiled
B
Assembly
C
Interpreted
D
Machine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Compiled languages are translated in batches, whereas interpreted languages are translated entirely before use. Both compiled and interpreted languages are translated entirely before use. Interpreted languages usually execute faster than compiled languages.

Detailed explanation-2: -A high-level language is a programming language that uses English and mathematical symbols in its instructions. To execute a program in a high-level language, it can be compiled or interpreted. A compiler translates the entire program written in a high-level language to machine language prior to execution.

Detailed explanation-3: -A computer program that converts an entire program into machine language at one time is called Compiler. A Compiler is a computer program that translates code written in a high level language to a lower level language, object/machine code.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compiled languages get translated into runnable files of binary machine code by a special program called (logically enough) a compiler. Once the binary has been generated, you can run it directly without looking at the source code again. (Most software is delivered as compiled binaries made from code you don’t see.)

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
