The document outlines the key steps in compiling a C/C++ program: 1) creating the source code, 2) compiling the source code into object code using a compiler, 3) linking the object code with libraries and functions from the C library using a linker to create a single executable file, and 4) loading the executable file into memory for execution using a loader. It also notes that compilation time refers to the time taken to convert source code to object code, while run time is the time taken for the program to execute.

2. • It envolves following steps :
– Creation of program
– Compilation program
– Linking with another modules from C library
– loading program into computer memory

4. Creation the program
• First of all, we will create our program. This is
known as source Code.
• Source code is user understandable and it is
not computer understandable.

5. Compiling the program
• source code is then translated into object
code using compiler. Source code acts as an
input to compiler and object code is output.

6. Linking of program
• Linker-> is program that combines separately
written modules into one program(file)
• C/c++ has given you some inbuilt
function/classes that will be linked to your
program using linker.
• Linker simply refers to creation of single file
from multiple object files.

7. Loading of Program
• Loader simply loads the linked object file into
memory for execution

9. Time taken during these steps
• Compilation Time : Time taken by compiler to
convert source code into object code.
• Run Time : time taken by program for its
execution
