What is Compiling?
Understanding Compilation in Programming
- The video introduces the concept of compiling, explaining that it involves transforming code written in a human-readable programming language into machine language, which computers can understand.
- It highlights that computers operate using bits (0s and 1s), the fundamental units of data storage and processing. This binary system is essential for computer communication.
- The speaker notes that writing directly in binary would be challenging; hence, high-level programming languages are created as abstractions to simplify coding for humans before converting it to binary.
- There is a distinction made between high-level and low-level programming languages: higher levels require more complex compilation processes, while lower levels are closer to machine language, resulting in faster transformations but increased complexity.
