What is a compiled language and how does that differ from an interpreted language? The terms “compile” and "interpret" appear a lot in programming documentation and tutorials. If you don’t truly understand what they mean, your understanding of certain programming topics will be hampered. Understanding the differences between compiled and interpreted languages is key in determining what language is best suited for a particular application, and pivotal in order to understand how an application is deployed to servers or distributed to customers. #programming #compiler #interpreter #compilation #interpretation #programmingtutorial #programmingfundamentals
