1. Preprocessing: The preprocessor obeys commands that begin with #, also known as directives
|
|
Commands for the preprocessor are called directives. Directives begin with a pound sign, and they do not end with a semicolon.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```c
|
|
//
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
```
|
|
2. Compiling. A compiler translates then translates the program into machine instructions.
|
|
3. Linking: The generated objects are combined to create a complete executable.
|
|
|
|
The preprocessor is typically integrated with the compiler.
