This mind map outlines the various stages in the program life cycle, providing a comprehensive overview of each phase. It begins with the Write Time stage, where programmers select programming languages and write the source code. Next is Compile Time, where the compiler transforms the source code into machine code, performing syntax and type checks. The Link Time stage follows, where compiled modules and libraries are linked to create an executable file. Finally, the Run Time stage involves loading the program into memory to execute operations such as calculations and network communication, completing the cycle of program development and execution.

Outline/Content

Write Time

This is the stage where programmers write source code, involving selecting programming languages and writing code logic.

Compile Time

The compiler converts source code into intermediate code or machine code. At this stage, the compiler performs syntax checks, type checks, and optimizes the code into a format that the machine can understand.

Link Time

Link the compiled modules and libraries into a complete executable file. This stage handles symbol references and address corrections between different modules.

Run Time

The program is loaded into memory and begins to execute. In this stage, the program handles actual operations such as calculations, input/output, network communication, etc.
