In this episode, we explore one of the foundational software development topics you’ll encounter on the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam — the difference between interpreted and compiled programming languages. We’ll explain how compiled languages, like C++ and Java, translate source code into machine code before execution, often resulting in faster performance. In contrast, interpreted languages, such as Python and JavaScript, are executed line-by-line by an interpreter, offering flexibility and ease of debugging at the expense of speed.We’ll also cover hybrid approaches and the role of just-in-time (JIT) compilation, which blends the benefits of both models. By understanding these concepts, you’ll be better prepared to answer exam questions about language categories and make informed decisions when choosing a language for a project. This is practical knowledge that applies in both academic and professional programming environments. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
