Final answer:
Languages such as COBOL, REXX, and CLIST can be either compiled or interpreted, whereas Assembler is usually compiled but does not typically offer an interpreted mode.
Step-by-step explanation:
The languages that can be interpreted or compiled include:
- Assembler: It is typically converted into machine code by a program called an assembler. Each assembler syntax is specific to the computer architecture, though it generally cannot be interpreted.
- COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language): This high-level language can be compiled to run on various hardware systems. Some implementations provide interpreters as well.
- REXX (Restructured Extended Executor): It is an interpreted language but can also be compiled to improve performance on some systems.
- CLIST (Command List): It is primarily an interpreted scripting language used by IBM for its mainframe operating systems.
All of these languages may have assemblers or compilers, with some also supporting interpretation depending on the environment and the implementation.
