Compiled Language
-- Is pre-converted by compiler to machine language
--Runs quicker than the language that an Interpreter runs.
--Most all Statically typed
Compiled Language Ex
--C
-- C++
--Java
--C#
Interpreted Language
--This language is taken in one line by line being taken in.
--Can operate any machine provided has interpreter of your language type.
Interpreted Language Ex
-- Python
--Javascript
--MATLAB
Statically Typed
--Each declared type of var cant change types in run
--Considered safer due to reporting errors during compilation
Dynamically Typed
, -- A variables type may change while a program executes, usually based on
what is assigned to the variable
-- considered easier to use when types need to change, requiring less converting
or fewer variables
Object-Oriented Language
-- Supports decomposing a program into objects
Object-Oriented Language Ex
-- C++
-- Java
-- Python
--C#
Markup Language
-- Allows a developer to describe a documents content, desired formatting, or
other features
-- Is not run line-by-line
