Editing Compiled language

{{Short description|Programming language that is typically compiled}}
'''Compiled language''' categorizes a [[programming language]] as used with a [[compiler]] and generally implies not used with an [[interpreter (computing)|interpreter]]. But, since any language can theoretically be compiled or interpreted the term lacks clarity. In practice, for some languages there are both compilers and interpreters.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ullah |first1=Asmat |title=Features and Characteristics of Compiled Languages |url=https://www.sqa.org.uk/e-learning/ClientSide01CD/page_14.htm |website=www.sqa.org.uk |language=en}}</ref> In some environments, source code is first compiled to an intermediate form (e.g., [[bytecode]]) and then interpreted.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-10-16 |title=Byte Code in Java |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/byte-code-in-java/ |access-date=2025-04-22 |website=GeeksforGeeks |language=en-US}}</ref>
