Assertion (A): Python is the fastest language.
Reasoning (R): Python is an interpreted language.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
A is false but R is true.
Explanation
Python is not considered the fastest programming language as it is slower than many compiled languages such as C or C++ because it is interpreted rather than compiled. Python is an interpreted language, which means that Python code is executed line by line at runtime by an interpreter, without the need for a separate compilation step to machine code.
