Dynamic Compilation

Dynamic compilation is a process where a computer program translates code into machine language at runtime, rather than beforehand. This allows the program to optimize its performance based on current conditions, data, or usage patterns. Essentially, the program "compiles" parts of itself on-the-fly, which can lead to faster execution and better adaptability. It's commonly used in environments like Java or in just-in-time (JIT) compilers within modern software, balancing the flexibility of interpreted code with the speed of compiled code.
