The sentences are a result of running, or executing, our code. If you recall, computers only speak one language, machine language. So when we write code in other programming languages, we need a way to have it converted into machine code. For example, programmers often say, "I need to compile my code." Compiling is one way that human-readable code is converted into machine code. You can think of it as an assembly line. On one end is the human-readable code and on the other, machine code. The compiler goes through various steps to transform the code you've written as a programmer into something that the computer can understand and execute. The process of compiling code can be complex.
