3.1 Compiled programming languages

Compiled programming language is a programming language which's source code is compiled into machine language code by the process called compilation. During compilation, a program called compiler converts source code written in high level language into machine language code which can be directly executed by the CPU.

The advantage of compiled programming language is that programs written in compiled programming languages work fast and does not need interpreter software to be installed on the computer on which they run. For these reasons, programs which need to be executed expeditiously such as games and system softwares are written in compiled programming languages.

The negative side of compiled programming language is that compiled programs will only work on particular CPU and operating system. For example, source code compiled for Windows OS (Operating System – system software that controls main operations of computer. Application softwares are written and run on specific Operating Systems. Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Linux are examples of Operating Systems) will not work on Mac and Linux operating systems.
