What are C Compilers and their properties?

A compiler is a program that translates source code into object code. The compiler got its name from the way it works, checking the entire piece of source code and collecting and reorganizing the procedural instructions. Thus in this way a compiler differs from an interpreter which analyzes and executes each line of source code in succession, without looking at the entire program. Compilers require some time for producing an executable source code. However, programs produced by compilers execute much faster than the same programs executed by an interpreter. Many compilers are available for the same language. More than a dozen companies develop and sell compilers for C language.
