Writing (editing) - the source code is typed into an editor and saved as a text file with a .c extension.
Compiling - the compiler translates the source code into object code (machine language), reporting any syntax errors it finds.
Linking - the linker joins the object code with the required library functions to produce a complete executable file.
Loading and execution - the loader places the executable in memory and the CPU (processor) executes the machine instructions; a program is always finally executed by the processor, working with main memory. …

Program instructions stored on disk cannot run directly. When a program is started, it is first loaded from secondary storage into the computer's main memory (RAM). The central processing unit (CPU) then fetches the instructions from memory one by one and executes them. So execution is carried o …
