Interpreted Programming Language

An interpreted programming language executes instructions directly without compiling into machine code first. The interpreter translates each statement into already compiled machine code subroutines. Interpreted languages emerged as a practical solution for personal computers that lacked storage for compiling and saving programs separately, allowing users to type in and immediately run programs. Functional programming models computations as expression evaluations and emerged in the 1960s from needs in artificial intelligence research areas like symbolic computation and theorem proving.

Interpreted Programming Language

An interpreted language is a programming language for which most of its implementations


execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions.
The interpreter executes the program directly, translating each statement into a sequence of one or
more subroutines already compiled into machine code.

History

As a practical matter, a program could be written, saved on magnetic tape (or paper tape,) compiled and
saved on a different magnetic tape. On a personal computer, that wasn't practical. A compiler was a fairly
large program, home computers didn't have lots of fast off-line storage and, well, it would be nice to just
type it in and say RUN. The solution was an interpreter.

Functional Programming Language

Functional programming is a style of programming which models computations as the


evaluation of expressions. History

Functional programming emerged as a distinct paradigm in the early 1960s. Its creation was
motivated by the needs of researchers in artificial intelligence and its subfields symbolic computation,
theorem proving, rule-based systems and natural language processing.
