You are working on a web application and need to decide on a language that allows you to write code which will be executed directly by the browser without the need for compilation. Which type of programming language would you most likely use?
For code that is executed directly by a web browser, you would most likely use an interpreted language. Interpreted languages, such as JavaScript (a scripting language), are translated into machine code on the fly during execution, rather than prior to execution like compiled languages.
