Answer 2

Compiler is basically a set of programs that converts the source code(high level language written in any programming language) into machine understandable code(lower level language - binary code) that the computer’s processor further uses.


Source Code Editor is an standalone application required for writing or editing the source code. A source code editor checks for syntaxes while user writes a code and immediately warns of syntax errors.



Text Editor is a simple application required for editing plain text such as notepad.
