What is a source code file in c plus plus?

A source code file is a plain-text file containing C++ instructions. The instructions must be compiled and linked to create a native machine code executable.


What is programming languages in c plus plus?

Programming in C++ means designing and writing a computer program using the C++ programming language. C++ is a high-level, machine-independent language which must be converted into machine-dependent code by a compiler.


Which one easier C plus plus or assembly language?

C++, but it's always worth learning both, if only to better understand the machine code you create with C++.


Is C plus plus interpreted as the program is executed?

No. Neither C nor C++ are interpreted. Both need to be compiled and linked to produce highly-optimised machine code, which is then executed.


How do you convert from assembly to binary in c plus plus?

Use inline assembly instructions. Then compile your C++ program to produce the machine code.


Which language is faster java or c plus plus?

C++ compiles to native machine code whereas Java compiles to byte code which must run within the Java Virtual Machine. The extra layer of abstraction means that, comparing like for like, a C++ program will easily outperform its Java equivalent. Thus C++ is easily the faster of the two.


Is C plus plus preprocessor software?

Sometimes, it is. Some implementations compile C++ code into C code, and then compile the C code.


Why c is machine independent language?

C source code is portable; it can be compiled upon any machine with a suitable C compiler in order to produce the machine-dependant code (the machine code). However, C can also be used to write machine-dependant code, or code that is dependant upon specific platforms. In order to be completely portable, the code must use the C standard library and/or generic libraries.


What is the assembler of java c plus plus c and asp.net?

There is no such thing. An "assembler" is a program that converts assembly language code, into machine language. Other programming languages have a "compiler", which is more or less equivalent.


How do you Convert C plus plus code to MIPS?

C++ is high-level source code, while MIPS is low-level machine code for a reduced instruction set computer (RISC). To convert C++ source code to MIPS you need a C++ compiler specific to the MIPS architecture you're building against.


Both Java and C plus plus compile source code to object code yet Java is called an interpreted language while C plus plus is called a compiled language explain this notion?

It can easily be explained by the fact that Java does not compile to object code. Java compiles to byte code that is suitable for interpretation by the Java virtual machine. C++ compiles to native machine code and therefore does not require interpretation of any kind. As a result, C++ programs run somewhat quicker than equivalent Java programs. However, because Java is interpreted, it is highly portable. Any machine with a Java virtual machine implementation (which is pretty much every device today) can run Java programs built from a single compilation. C++ requires that the code be written specifically for each platform and that the source be compiled separately upon each supported platform.


What translates a C plus plus program into a machine language?

The C++ pre-compiler, compiler and linker. Each program must be run in sequence, one after the other, to produce the final machine code. Most IDEs include a build command that can automate the entire process.
