A language is run one statement at a time by another program. Which characteristic describes that aspect of the language?

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a paradigm that organizes code into objects, which can encapsulate both data and behavior. While many interpreted languages can be object-oriented, this term does not specifically describe the execution method of running statements one at a time. OOP emphasizes design and structure rather than the execution process.

Compiled languages, such as C and C++, require the entire program to be translated into machine code before execution. This process involves creating an executable file that runs independently of the source code, which contrasts with the real-time execution of statements in interpreted languages. Therefore, compiled languages do not fit the characteristic described in the question.

Markup languages, like HTML and XML, are not programming languages but rather serve to structure and format text. They do not involve execution of statements, as they are primarily used for presentation and data representation. Consequently, markup languages do not exhibit the behavior described in the question.
