Compilation and Java Program Basics

The compilation process takes source code files as input and produces executable files through multiple steps. The compiler translates source code into object code, and the linker combines object files and libraries into a single executable file. Similarly, the Java interpretation process takes class files as input, which were produced from source code by the compiler, and combines them using the linker to produce a JAR archive or other executable file that can be run by the Java Virtual Machine.
