C vs Python – Compiled vs Interpreted (1)
• C – Compiled
C Machine
Source code code
*.c *.o

Compile

– Convert source code to machine understandable code

C vs Python – Compiled vs Interpreted (1)
• C – Compiled

C Machine
Source code code Output
*.c *.o

Compile Execute

– Convert source code to machine understandable code


– Execute the machine code

! Faster execution BUT strict structure !

6
C vs Python – Compiled vs Interpreted (2)
• Python – Interpreted

Python
Source code Output
*.py

Interpret

– Execute programme directly from source code


– Source is compiled to a bytecode (*.pyc) during Python execution but it does NOT require an explicit
compilation

! Flexible and interactive BUT slower execution !
