JIT vs Interpreters

Question

I couldn\'t find the difference between JIT and Interpreters.

Jit is intermediary to Interpreters and Compilers. During runtime, it converts byte code to machine code (

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that JIT turns byte code into machine code for whatever machine you're running on right as it's needed. The alternative to this is to run the byte code in a java virtual machine. I'm not sure if this the same as interpreting the code since I'm more familiar with that term being used to describe the execution of a scripting (non-compiled) language like ruby or perl.
