Also known as code compiler

In computing, a compiler is software that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language). The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language (e.g. assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program.

AI overview

A compiler is software that translates computer code written in one programming language into another language, most commonly converting human-readable code into machine code that computers can execute. This translation process matters because it allows programmers to write instructions in languages designed for human understanding, while enabling those instructions to actually run on computer hardware.
