    Compiler
    A `compiler` is a computer program (or set of programs) that translates text written in a computer language (the `source language`) into another computer language (the `target language`). The original sequence is usually called the `source code` and the output called `object code`. Commonly the output has a form suitable for processing by other programs (e.g., a linker), but it may be a human-readable text file. The most common reason for wantin...
