[b822811] | 12 | <para>A compiler translates source code in text format to a format
|
---|
[6370fa6] | 13 | that a computer understands. After a source code file is compiled into
|
---|
| 14 | an object file, a linker will create an executable file from one or more
|
---|
[53ad30a] | 15 | of these compiler generated object files.</para></sect3>

|

[b822811] | 18 | <para>A preprocessor pre-processes a source file, such as including
|
---|
[3cc70a0] | 19 | the contents of header files into the source file. It's a good idea to
|
---|
| 20 | not
|
---|
| 21 | do this manually to save a lot of time. Someone just inserts a line
|
---|
[07cbb0d] | 22 | like #include <filename>. The preprocessor inserts the
|
---|
[6370fa6] | 23 | contents of that file into the source file. That's one of the things a
|
---|
[53ad30a] | 24 | preprocessor does.</para></sect3>

[b822811] | 27 | <para>The C++ library is used by C++ programs. The C++ library contains
|
---|
[6370fa6] | 28 | functions that are frequently used in C++ programs. This way the
|
---|
| 29 | programmer doesn't have to write certain functions (such as writing a
|
---|
| 30 | string of text to the screen) from scratch every time he creates a
|
---|
[53ad30a] | 31 | program.</para></sect3>
