The C$++$ code you write is called the source code. In C$++$ the source code file typically has an extension of $.$cpp$.$ When you are ready to run your program, you begin a build cycle:The preprocessor processes the # lines at the top of the program and creates a modified source code file. The compiler then checks for compilation errors and if there are any, you need to go back to fix them.If there are no compilation errors, an object file is created $(.$obj file$)$The linker then creates an executable file written in machine code $(.$exe$)$You can then run the executable file.$($T or F$)$ Thus, the steps to create a program are for you to first edit$/$create a $.$cpp source code file, and then the program goes through the preprocessor, compiler and linker steps which results in an executable program for you to run.
