What is difference  between IL and JIT?

Sagar kaushal · Answer

IL: The Common Language Run time manages the execution of .NET code. Here is how it works: When you compile a C# program, the output of the compiler is not executable code. Instead, it is a file that contains a special type of pseudo-code called Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). MSIL defines a set of portable instructions that are independent of any specific CPU. In essence, MSIL defines a portable assembly language. One other point: although MSIL is similar in concept to Java’s byte code. CLR to Translate the Intermediate code into Executable code. Thus, any program compiled to MSIL can be run in any environment for which the CLR is implemented. JIT: The .NET Framework contains one or more JIT compilers that compile your IL code down to machine code, or code that is CPU-specific. This is done when the application is executed for the first time.

IL: - .Net supports (C#, J#, VB etc) languages but language gets converted into one and same language which is IL

JIT:-JIT compiles the IL code to Machine code just before execution and then saves this transaction in memory
