kompileerimata

Kompileerimata refers to code that has not yet been processed by a compiler. In programming, a compiler is a special program that translates source code written in a high-level programming language (like Python, Java, or C++) into machine code or an intermediate code that a computer can understand and execute. When code is "kompileerimata," it means it is still in its original human-readable form.

This term is often used in contexts where the distinction between compiled and interpreted languages is important. Interpreted languages, for example, typically execute code line by line without a distinct compilation step that produces a separate executable file. In such cases, the code is always "kompileerimata" at the point of execution, as the interpreter handles the translation on the fly.

Conversely, compiled languages require a compilation phase before the program can be run. The output of this phase is an executable file. If you have the source code for a compiled language but have not yet run the compiler on it, it is considered "kompileerimata." Understanding whether code is compiled or "kompileerimata" can affect how a program is developed, deployed, and executed, influencing factors like performance and portability.
