CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 208

A programmer wants to use a programming language in which high performance is a requirement. Which of the following language types is the BEST option?

Answer options

• A. Markup language
• B. Scripting language
• C. Compiled language
• D. Interpreted language

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Compiled languages are typically converted into machine code, allowing for faster execution and better performance, making them ideal for high-performance requirements. In contrast, markup languages are used for structuring data, scripting languages are generally interpreted at runtime which can slow down execution, and interpreted languages typically do not offer the same level of performance as compiled languages.
