How C Program is compiled
The compilation process in C transforms a human-readable code into a machine-readable format. For C programming language, it happens before a program starts executing to check the syntax and semantics of the code. The compilation process in C involves four steps: pre-processing, compiling, assembling, and linking then, we run the obtained executable file to get an output on the screen.
What is a Compilation?
Before diving into the traditional definition of compilation, let us consider an example where there is a person A who speaks Hindi language and person A wants to talk to person B who only knows English language, so now either of them requires a translator to translate their words to communicate with each other. This process is known as translation, or in terms of programming, it is known as compilation process.
The compilation process in C is converting an understandable human code into a Machine understandable code and checking the syntax and semantics of the code to determine any syntax errors or warnings present in our C program. Suppose we want to execute our C Prog

Suppose we want to execute our C Program written in an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). In that case, it has to go through several phases of compilation (translation) to become an executable file that a machine can understand.
