A Compiler is a computer program which translates a computer program, also referred to as source code, into a lower level representation, usually executable code. In most cases, the output of the compiler needs further processing to be executed. Compilers exist for most programming languages, and are opposed to interpreters. Execution of compiled code is usually much faster than execution of a program in an interpreter.
