GCC

GCC, or GNU Compiler Collection, is a set of programming tools that transform written code into a language a computer's hardware can understand and execute. It supports many programming languages like C, C++, and Fortran. Developers write code in human-readable form, and GCC compiles it into machine code, which runs efficiently on computers. Think of GCC as a translator that converts complex instructions into a language a computer can "know" and follow, enabling the creation of software, applications, and systems.
