   Hint

   Think about what happens to the program after it's compiled.

2. 2.

   Define the Interpreter's method of execution.

   Hint

   Recall how it processes the bytecode.

3. 3.

   What does the Execution Engine do?

   • Interprets code
   • Compiles code
   • Both

   Hint

   Remember both functionalities.

4. 4.

   True or False: The Interpreter is faster than the JIT Compiler.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about execution speed.

5. 5.

   Design a scenario where using the Interpreter over the JIT compiler would be more beneficial.

   Hint

   Consider the necessity of speed versus flexibility.

6. 6.

   Discuss how method optimizations can impact long-running applications.

   Hint

   Think of performance in the context of resource management.
