A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators which generate machine code from source code), and not interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no translation takes place). A programming language is an Artificial language that can be used to write programs which control the behavior of a machine particularly a Computer. A programming language implementation is a system for executing programs written in a Programming language. A compiler is a Computer program (or set of programs that translates text written in a computer language (the source language) into another Machine code or machine language is a system of instructions and data executed directly by a Computer 's Central processing unit. In Computer science, source code (commonly just source or code) is any sequence of statements or declarations written in some Human-readable In Computer science, an interpreter normally means a Computer program that executes, i In Computer science, source code (commonly just source or code) is any sequence of statements or declarations written in some Human-readable

The term is somewhat vague; in principle any language can be implemented with a compiler or with an interpreter. A combination of both solutions is also increasingly common: a compiler can translate the source code into some intermediate form (often called bytecode), which is then passed to an interpreter which executes it. Bytecode is a term which has been used to denote various forms of Instruction sets designed for efficient execution by a software interpreter as well as being suitable

A program translated by a compiler tends to be much faster than an interpreter executing the same program: even a 10:1 ratio is not uncommon. The mixed solution's efficiency is typically somewhere in between. The downsides of the "compiler" solution are the inherent complexity of a good implementation, and longer edit-run cycles.

A pure compiler implementation is the typical solution for low-level languages, because it comes out as more "natural", and because of efficiency concerns; however with some effort it is always possible to write compilers even for traditionally interpreted languages such as Lisp and Prolog. In Computer programming an interpreted language is a Programming language whose implementation often takes the form of an interpreter. Lisp (or LISP) is a family of Computer Programming languages with a long history and a distinctive fully parenthesized syntax Prolog is a Logic programming language It is a general purpose language often associated with Artificial intelligence and Computational linguistics
