  7. Skeleton (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Skeleton_(computer_programming)

    Skeleton programming mimics this, but differs in the way that it is commonly written in an integrated development environment, or text editors. This assists the further development of the program after the initial design stage. Skeleton programs also allow for simplistic functions to operate, if run.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translator_(computing)

    Compiler software interacts with source code by converting it typically from a higher-level programming language into object code that can later be executed by the computer's central processing unit (CPU). [6] The object code created by the compiler consists of machine-readable code that the computer can process. This stage of the computing ...
