So I tried running a program in this little black and white window called GCC and we'll see it today working properly that is a so called compiler.

在一个名为GCC的黑色小窗口里,运行我们的程序,然后得出想要的结果,这就是所谓的编译器。

In a compiled language, you have an intermediate step, in which you take the source code, it runs through what's called a checker or a compiler or both, and it creates what's called object code.

而在编译语言里，你就会经过一个中间的步骤，在这种语言里输入源码后，先经过过滤器,或者编译器检查后，它会创建一个叫做目标代码的东西。

The compiler is going to ignore all of this so-called "pretty printing" -- all of this sort of indentation, -- all of this white space -- that's really for the human's benefits, both yours, your colleagues, the teaching staff, and the like.

编译器会忽略所有的叫做,“优美打印“--所有的这类缩进，所有的这些空格-,只是为了我们的利益，也是你的，你的同事，教员的和其他人的利益。

So putting back that prototype allows me to compile this, because I'm saying proactively to the compiler hey, you're going to see a function called increment.

把那个原型放回原处使我能够编译它，因为我提前向编译器打了招呼，将看到一个叫做increment的函数。

- You then run a compiler, in our case called "GCC" -- -- one of the world's most popular -- and then you can run it with some number of switches, these command line arguments as they're called that somehow influences the behavior of this program.

然后你们运行编译器，在这里我们使用叫做“GCC“的编译器-,这是全球最流行的-,然后你们可以通过一些命令来运行这个编译器，这些命令行参数可以,影响这个程序的行为。

So you have to somehow convert the source code, the C code into 0s and 1s and for that process there exist this tool called a compiler that someone else wrote that takes this stuff as input and produces this stuff as output.

所以你必须把源代码，即C语言代码转换成二进制文件,这个过程就需要我们提到的编译器了,它是由别人编写的一个软件，以这些代码作为输入,将会产生的输出。
