[Exam style] Python is an interpreted language. Explain what this means and how interpreted languages differ from compiled languages.

An interpreted language uses a program called an interpreter to translate code written in the source language to a target language that the computer can understand and execute. Interpreters translate code line-by-line as they execute the commands, whereas compilers use a program called a compiler to translate the entire program to the target language before any computation of the source program occurs.
