Compiled languages like C# and java, have just in time compilers, that convert them (from byte code) into machine code (0s and 1s). How does an interpreted language like VBScript get converted into machine code? Is it done by the operating system?
They don’t necessarily get converted to machine code (and often don’t).
The interpreter for that program runs the appropriate actions according to what the program requires.
Some interpreters might generate machine code (using JIT compilers), others might stick to plain interpretation of the script.
