Interpreted language

From DocForge

An interpreted language is simply a programming language which is commonly executed via an interpreter. The interpreter, a separate application, uses the code as run-time instructions. A compiled language, by contrast, is one which is typically converted into native code - binary machine language to be executed directly by a processor.

Some interpreted languages are first compiled into virtual machine code, which is then either interpreted or compiled at runtime.
