Ok,
I just wanna clear this up a lil bit becuz I am kinda confused here.
Ok, when I compiler something in C++, the compiler compiles it and then runs it. The program pop ups on my screen, I go throught it and it closes.
Lets say someone makes a program and like puts it on the net for download. Now say I go and download this program, whatever it may be, and I dont have a C++ compiler. But the whole program is made out of C++ code.
How does this work. I asked my dad and he said some compilers compile the code into machine langauge and then any computer can read and run that program. But if you compile something into machiene language, doesnt it stay that way.
I think I need a breif over view of this general process, becuz I am a bit confused.
