Is C# partially interpreted or really compiled?

Question

There is a lot of contradicting information about this. While some say C# is compiled (as it is compiled into IL and then to native code when run), others say it\'s interpre

Answer 1

C# is compilable language.

Probably, as I met too those kind of opinions, the fact that someone thinks that there is an Interpreter for C# language, is due the kind of projects like

C# Interpreter Console

or, for example, famous

LinqPAD

where you can write just lines of the code and execute them, which brings to think that it's Python like language, which is not true. It compiles those lines and executes them, like a ordinary compilable programming language (from workflow point of view).
