A compiler translates the entire program of a high-level language into machine language before the computer executes the program.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. A compiler takes the entire source code of a high-level language program and translates it into machine language (also known as object code) before the program is executed by the computer. This is different from an interpreter, which translates and executes the program line by line as it runs.
