Can anyone explain to me the compilers and what compiles means?

Answer 1

the compiler translate human code (c++ here) in machine code (asm), asm is after converted to binary, so the "human code" is said as "high level" language but There is differents levels, for exemple c++ is pretty low (closer to the machine) wich is good but make it harder to learn where forme exemple python ils vert High (closer of human) wich make it really easy to learn/code but make it slower than C/C++ and have less possibilities. (sorry for my english btw)

Answer 2

Yes.

a compiler is a program that translates a high-level language into a low-level language (such as machine code).
