C Compiler

A C compiler is a specialized software program that translates code written in the C programming language into machine language, which a computer's processor can execute directly. It takes human-readable instructions and converts them into a series of low-level commands tailored to a specific hardware system. This process enables programmers to write code in C, a high-level language that is easier to understand and manage, while ensuring the computer can understand and perform those instructions efficiently. The compiler streamlines software development by automating this translation, ultimately producing an executable program.
