                    <h3>Compiled vs. interpreted</h3>

                    <p class="padded">When a program is <strong>compiled</strong>, the source code is translated into machine code,
                        and that code can be distributed and run repeatedly.</p>
                    <p class="smaller"><code>Source code → Compiler → Machine code → Output</code></p>

                    <p>When a program is <strong>interpreted</strong>, an interpreter 
                        runs the source code directly (without compiling it first).</p>
                    <p class="smaller"><code>Source code → Interpreter → Output</code></p>
