WGU- Scripting and Programming - Foundations - C173 (Unit 8). Exam Review. Comprehensive masterpiece, rated A+ Compiled language - -A programming language that is first converted to machine code, which can then only run on a particular machine type. Programs written using compiled languages generally run faster than interpreted languages. Compiler - -A computer program created to read an entire program and convert it into a lower-level language and ultimately to assembly language used by the processor. Interpreted language - -A programming language that requires no compilation, and instead can be directly run by another program. The other program is called an interpreter, which executes (interprets) the language's statements one at a time. Interpreted languages may be a bit easier to learn due to avoiding compilation. Such languages are also more portable, running on any machine that has an interpreter. Scripting language - -A simple programming language that's limited to performing a set of specialized tasks. Interpreter - -Converts a program written in a higher level language into a lower level language and executes it, beginning execution before converting the entire program. Statistically typed - -A language whose variable types do not change during execution. Many languages do not allow variable types to change during execution. Most compiled languages don't allow such changing, which would be hard to implement. Examples include C, C++, and Java. Dynamically typed - -A language whose variable types may change during execution. 2 Many languages allow variable types to change during execution. Many interpreted languages allow such changing. Examples include Python and MATLAB. C++ - -Is statically
