1. compilation

   Compilation is a process in which a computer program written in a high level language, also known as source code, is translated into machine language by a compiler. This machine language, or binary code, can then be directly executed by the computer's hardware. The purpose of this process is to make the program faster, more efficient, and compatible with the specific hardware of the system. The result of this process is an executable file which can be run on a computer system.
