A software development team is working on designing a new application that requires high performance and execution speed. The application will perform complex calculations and handle large amounts of data. To meet these requirements, which feature of compiled programming languages would primarily benefit the application's performance?
Compiled languages are translated directly into machine code, which the computer's hardware can execute. This process takes place before runtime, resulting in faster execution when compared to interpreted languages that are translated on the fly. The feature that contributes to this performance is the compilation to machine code, which optimizes the code for speed and efficiency.
