16A compiler translates source code in text format to a format
17that a computer understands. After a source code file is compiled into
18an object file, a linker will create an executable file from one or more
19of these compiler generated object files.

26<para>
27A pre-processor pre-processes a source file, such as including
28the contents of header files into the source file. You generally don't
29do this yourself to save yourself a lot of time. You just insert a line
30like #include &lt;filename&gt;. The pre-processor file insert the
31contents of that file into the source file. That's one of the things a
32pre-processor does.

40The C++ library is used by C++ programs. The C++ library contains
41functions that are frequently used in C++ programs. This way the
42programmer doesn't have to write certain functions (such as writing a
43string of text to the screen) from scratch every time he creates a
44program.
