# 02. Compiled vs Interpreted languages

### A Comparison

| Compiled Language                                                  | Interpreted Language                                                           |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| The original program is translated into native machine instruction | The original program is translated into something else                         |
| Code is executed directly by Hardware                              | Code is executed by special program called Interpreter                         |
| Generally Faster and more efficient at run-time.                   | Comparatively slows at run-time.                                               |
| Additional compilation steps are required.                         | No compilation step is required. Program is ready to execute as soon as typed. |
| More control over hardware like and CPU and Memory.                | Hardware is generally not accessible.                                          |
| Examples : C, C++, Erlang, Haskell, Rust, and Go.                  | Examples : PHP, Ruby, Python, and JavaScript                                   |
