Coding starts with a programmer working on a computer. Before proceeding to write a code, the programmer must ensure that the appropriate is installed on the computer.
A programming language like C++is called higher level language. The program written using it is called source code.
The compiler is a program that converts this source code into machine code. The translation from source code to machine code is called code assembly.
In Windows operating system, a machine code is in the form of an ‘exe’ file. Such file can be run on the computer directly.
Many programmers use computer software engineering tools to automate a great deal of the coding process.
The tools can generate entire sections of code automatically rather than one line at a time.
