MCQ Detailed View

A compiler is a type of language translator used in programming. Its main job is to convert high-level programming code (like C, C++, or Java) into machine code (binary code) that a computer's processor can understand and execute.

In other words, when a programmer writes a program in a human-readable language, that code must be translated into machine language before it can run. The compiler reads the entire code, checks for errors, and then translates it all at once into executable code. If there are any errors in the source code, the compiler will show them before the program runs.
