Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Starting from the source code, which of these will start running the program quickest?

A	Interpreter
B	Bytecode on a virtual machine
C	Compiler
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A compiler typically runs a program faster because it translates an entire program at once.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compiled code runs faster, while interpreted code runs slower. Compiler displays all errors after compilation, on the other hand, the Interpreter displays errors of each line one by one.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -C++ is the fastest programming language. It is a compiled language with a broad variety of applications that is simple to learn. C++ was the clear winner, with Java and Python coming in second and third, respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper in 1952 while the Lisp interpreter was written in 1958 by John McCarthy’s student Steve Russell.
