Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -A Compiler is a computer program that translates code written in a high level language to a lower level language, object/machine code.

Detailed explanation-4: -A compiler translates a program written in a high-level language into Machine language or that transforms computer code written in one programming language into another programming language.

Detailed explanation-5: -A compiler is a special program that translates a programming languageā€™s source code into machine code, bytecode or another programming language. The source code is typically written in a high-level, human-readable language such as Java or C++.
