What is the difference between compiled and interpreted languages?

Compiled languages translate the entire source code into machine code (binary) before running the program. This translation is done by a compiler, resulting in an executable file. Once compiled, the program can be run multiple times without the need for recompilation. This process generally leads to faster execution since the translation happens just once. Examples include C, C++, and Rust.
Interpreted languages translate source code into machine code line-by-line, executing it directly without producing an intermediary executable file. This task is handled by an interpreter. Since the code is translated on the go, interpreted languages tend to run slower compared to compiled languages. However, they offer flexibility and ease of debugging, as code changes can be tested immediately without recompiling. Examples include Python, JavaScript, and Ruby.
