Compiled language
open-in-new
<p>Compiled language categorizes a <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a> as used with a <a href="/facts/Compiler/WNfCDFJe">compiler</a> and generally implies not used with an <a href="/facts/Interpreter_(computing)/JB85fbyb">interpreter</a>. But, since any language can theoretically be compiled or interpreted the term lacks clarity. In practice, for some languages there are both compilers and interpreters. In some environments, source code is first compiled to an intermediate form (e.g., <a href="/facts/Bytecode/EPkMFR7M">bytecode</a>) and then interpreted. </p>
