What are the criteria to define if a programming language is compiled or interpreted?
Often I hear people saying that some language is either compiled or interpreted. Examples: "Java is compiled" or "JavaScript is interpreted" and so on.
What are the criteria to define languages as such?

if the code is compiled everytime before running, then it is interpreted.
If you get a ready executable binary and run it again and again then it is compiled.
Java is sorted of both. you get executable binary of byte code, but every running jvm compile it again to machine code before running.
