Question

Why is the execution time of the machine code less than that of the source code?

Short Note

Solution

The source code is converted by a translator into the machine-understandable form called object (machine) code and then executes that program. While machine code directly executes without using the translator. That's why the execution time of the machine code is less than that of the source code.
