Python Is an example of which programming language category?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Python is an interpreted programming language, which means that the source code is translated into executable code by an interpreter at runtime, rather than by a compiler beforehand. Interpreted languages are more flexible and portable than compiled languages, but they are also slower and less efficient. Assembly and machine languages are low-level languages that are directly executed by the hardware, while compiled languages are high-level languages that are translated into machine code by a compiler before execution.

I believe Python's source code is first translated into bytecode, so technically it's both.

It can be both interpreted and compiled, depending on how it's used.
