Source file<\/p>\n<p>A source file is a file that contains program instructions called code. It is written in a programming language that is understandable by humans. The code in a source file is then compiled into an object file, which is a file that contains machine code that can be executed by the computer.<\/p>\n<p>An object file is a file that contains machine code that can be executed by the computer. It is created by compiling a source file. The machine code in an object file is not directly executable by the computer. It must first be linked with other object files and libraries to create an executable file.<\/p>\n<p>An executable file is a file that contains machine code that can be directly executed by the computer.
