Compiling the Program

The code that was introduced in the previous section is the written in such a way that humans can read it. This form of the code is called the
\begin{emph} source code. \end{emph}
The executable version of the program is called the
\begin{emph} object or (executable) code. \end{emph}
Object code is created by the compiler when it compiles your program.

To compile your program on the UNIX machines use

\begin{emph} c++ filename.cpp -o executable name \end{emph}
