Detailed explanation-1: -Compiler. Compilers are used to translate a program written in a high-level language into machine code (object code). Once compiled (all in one go), the translated program file can then be directly used by the computer and is independently executable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is Compiler.
Detailed explanation-3: -To get from source code to machine language, the programs must be transformed by a compiler. The compiler produces an intermediary form called object code. Object code is often the same as or similar to a computer’s machine language.
Detailed explanation-4: -3) Does the compiler program translate the whole source code in one step? Explanation: The compiler is that program which translates the whole high-level code into the machine code at once.
Detailed explanation-5: -Compilers translate code all at once and the processor then executes upon the machine language that the compiler produced.
