Tell me the difference between object code and executable file.
Tell the difference
Hey @Spartan_online, let me explain you that :
In simple words, executable code is the code in machine language (binary code)which is directly understood by the computer and executes it without further simplification needed while Object code is the code produced by a compiler or interpreter .It need not necessarily be machine code as in C language .It can also be byte code in case of Java language where it needs to be further simplified to binary code , to be referred to as executable code.
Thus a program in binary code or machine language can be called executable file whereas the program code produced by compiler(can be binary code sometimes in which case it can also be called as executable file)is called an object file.
I hope this answers your question
