interpreted-language

Moving to python with C/Java background, I recently had to implement a mutual recursion, but something in python is bothering me: since a python program is interpreted line by line, if I have two functions one after another in the same python file: def A(n): B(n-1) # if I add A(1) here, it gives me an error def B(n): if n <= 0: return else: A(n-1) When the interpreter is reading A , B is not yet defined, however this code does not give me an error TL;DR My understanding is that, when def is interpreted, python adds an entry to some local name space locals() with {"function name": function

From what I've read so far, bash seems to fit the defintion of an interpreted language: it is not compiled into a lower format every statement ends up calling a subroutine / set of subroutines already translated into machine code (i.e. echo foo calls a precompiled executable) the interpreter itself, bash , has already been compiled However, I could not find a reference to bash on Wikipedia's page for interpreted languages , or by extensive searches on Google. I've also found a page on Programmers Stack Exchange that seems to imply that bash is not an interpreted language- if it's not, then

Why HTML/JavaScript/CSS are not becoming compiled languages (or maybe even merge into a single compiled language)? What if browsers were running "Browser Virtual Machine" and html/javascript/css sources could by compiled to a "browser bytecode". Wouldn't it help developers and users a lot? I can see a few challenges: What to do with zillions of existing pages? Make this compilation optional, so if you want you can use plain old html. If you want to feed a browser with a compiled page just use .chtml for example. How search providers would index pages? Make a decompiler that would decompile

First of all, I have taken a look at the following posts to avoid duplicate question. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1184717/hungarian-notation Why shouldn't I use "Hungarian Notation"? Are variable prefixes (“Hungarian notation”) really necessary anymore? Do people use the Hungarian Naming Conventions in the real world? Now, all of these posts are related to C#, C++, Java - strongly typed languages. I do understand that there is no need for the prefixes when the type is known before compilation. Nevertheless, my question is: Is it worthwhile to use the prefixes in interpreter based

This question already has an answer here: Have you used any of the C++ interpreters (not compilers)? [closed] 8 answers Is there a way i can run c++ code as interpreted instead of compiled? so i can edit code and write functions on the fly? Related: Have you used any of the C++ interpreters (not compilers)? Take a look at Ch , an embeddable C++ interpreter. Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter for cross-platform scripting, shell programming, 2D/3D plotting, numerical computing, and embedded scripting. Ch is a free and user-friendly alternative to C/C++ compilers for beginners to learn C/C++.
