Detailed explanation-1: -Ultimately, the source code of every human-readable programming language must be translated to machine language by a compiler or an interpreter, because binary code is the only language that computer hardware can understand. Each CPU has its own specific machine language.
Detailed explanation-2: -High-level language programs must also be translated to machine language before they can be executed. The translator programs that do this are called compilers (Figure 9-4). Compilers for a particular high-level language can be produced for various computers with different machine languages.
Detailed explanation-3: -A program that converts a high-level language source file into a machine-language file is called a compiler.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: We convert our programs to machine language so that it can be understood by the computer.
