  4. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)

    A cross compiler can generate binary code for the user machine even if it has a different processor than the machine where the code is compiled. An interpreted program can be distributed as source code. It needs to be translated in each final machine, which takes more time but makes the program distribution independent of the machine's ...

    Comparison of Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET. v. t. e. Programming languages are used for controlling the behavior of a machine (often a computer). Like natural languages, programming languages follow rules for syntax and semantics. There are thousands of programming languages [ 1 ] and new ones are created every year.

  6. Compiled language - Wikipedia

    A compiled language is a programming language for which source code is typically compiled; not interpreted. The term is vague since, in principle, any language can be compiled or interpreted and in practice some languages are both (in different environments). [1] In some environments, source code is first compiled (to an intermediate form ...

    This is an index to notable programming languages, in current or historical use. Dialects of BASIC, esoteric programming languages, and markup languages are not included. A programming language does not need to be imperative or Turing-complete, but must be executable and so does not include markup languages such as HTML or XML, but does include domain-specific languages such as SQL and its ...

    t. e. A source-to-source translator, source-to-source compiler (S2S compiler), transcompiler, or transpiler[1][2][3] is a type of translator that takes the source code of a program written in a programming language as its input and produces an equivalent source code in the same or a different programming language.
