| A **Compiler** is a software program that transforms high-level [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:s:sourcecode|source code]] that is written by a developer in a high-level programming language into a low level object code (binary code) in machine language, which can be understood by the [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:p:processor|processor]]. The process of converting high-level programming into machine language is known as compilation. | A **Compiler** is a software program that transforms high-level [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:s:sourcecode|source code]] that is written by a developer in a high-level programming language into a low level object code (binary code) in machine language, which can be understood by the [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:p:processor|processor]].
