Episode 41: Programming Language Types: Interpreted, Compiled, and More
This episode explains the different categories of programming languages, including interpreted, compiled, scripting, markup, and query languages. We discuss how interpreted languages execute code line-by-line, compiled languages translate entire programs into machine code before execution, and how scripting and markup languages serve specific automation or content structuring purposes. Recognizing these distinctions is essential for identifying the right tool for a given development task in both exam questions and professional practice.
We also explore examples of each language type, such as Python for interpreted scripts, C++ for compiled programs, HTML for markup, and SQL for queries. Understanding their strengths and limitations will help you match the right language to scenarios like web development, system scripting, or database management.
