The function of compiler

1) Compiler: - It is a computer program that transforms the source code written in a programming or source language into another computer language i.e. target language i.e. binary code known as object code.

The function of debugger.

2) Debugger: - Allows you to download your code to the emulator's memory and the control all of the functions of the emulator from a PC. Common debugging features include the capability to examine and modify the microcontroller's onchip registers, data- and program-memory; pausing or stopping program executing at defined program locations by setting breakpoints; single stepping (execute one instruction at a time) through the code and looking at a history of executed code (trace).
