FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -A compiler is a special program that translates a programming language’s source code into machine code, bytecode or another programming language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary code is the end product of all source code written by a programmer using a programming language. When a programmer writes code for a program, it must be transformed to binary before it can be executed by the computer. This source code to binary code transformation is performed in a process called Compilation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Compilers are a type of translator that support digital devices, primarily computers. The name compiler is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program.

Detailed explanation-4: -A compiler is an executable program that takes program source code (text) as input and translates it into an executable program (binary machine code) that it writes into a file as output.
