Does Javascript Compile to C?
JavaScript is an interpreted language, not a compiled language. A program such as C++ or Java needs to be compiled before it is run. The source code is passed through a program called a compiler, which translates it into bytecode that the machine understands and can execute.

Also asked, where do I compile JavaScript?

After unzipping it, run it in a Command Prompt window with the syntax “C:PathToJsmin.exe C:PathToCompiled. js,” filling in the path of the JSMin.exe file, the location of the original JavaScript file and a location for the resulting JavaScript file.

Beside above, how is JavaScript run by the browser? JavaScript is what is called a Client-side Scripting Language. Inside a normal Web page you place some JavaScript code (See How Web Pages Work for details on Web pages). When the browser loads the page, the browser has a built-in interpreter that reads the JavaScript code it finds in the page and runs it.

In this regard, is C compiled or interpreted?

It is not compiled or interpreted - it is just text. A compiler will take the language and translate it into machine language (assembly code), which can easily be translated into machine instructions (most systems use a binary encoding, but there are some "fuzzy" systems as well).
