Native Code
Native code refers to computer instructions that are written specifically for a particular type of hardware or operating system, such as Windows or macOS. It is compiled directly into machine language that the device’s processor can execute efficiently without needing additional translation. This contrasts with applications that run in a virtual environment or use intermediary languages, which may be slower. Native code offers optimal performance and better integration with the system’s hardware and features, making it ideal for tasks requiring high speed, efficiency, and responsiveness.
