| S.No. | Compiled Language | Interpreted Language |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers and not interpreters. | An interpreted language is a programming language whose implementations execute instructions directly and freely, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions. |
| 2 | In this language, once the program is compiled it is expressed in the instructions of the target machine. | While in this language, the instructions are not directly executed by the target machine. |
| 3 | There are at least two steps to get from source code to execution. | There is only one steps to get from source code to execution. |
| 4 | In this language, compiled programs run faster than interpreted programs. | While in this language, interpreted programs can be modified while the program is running. |
| 5 | In this language, compilation errors prevent the code from compiling. | In this languages, all the debugging occurs at run-time. |
| 6 | The code of compiled language can be executed directly by the Computer’s CPU | A program written in an interpreted language is not compiled, it’s interpreted line by line. |
| 7 | This language delivers better performance. | This language delivers better performance. |
| 8 | Example of compiled language – C, C++, C#, CLEO, COBOL, etc. | Example of Interpreted language – JavaScript, Perl, Python, BASIC, etc. |
