Software Development Cycle
Compile
lTranslate (compile) the source program into an object program.
An object program contains machine instructions. The program which translates a source program into an object program is called a compiler. If there are errors, go back to step 2 (or 1). Don't be surprised if you have to go back and edit your program many times.
lExample compiler: javac (part of Sun's JDK (Java Development Kit))
