please explain clearly what actually happens after i click on COMPILE

[srikanth]

what are the processes that happen after compile starts

//////////////////
-----------------------------why is it i find 150 or 100 lines compiled
in the message box though it is a 10 or 09 lines program

You're probably including a header file, although the program you entered is
just a few lines.

The compiler has to process your program after any #include directive has
been processed, i.e. #include<stdio.h> has been *replaced* by the contents
of the file stdio.h by the pre-processor - thus the larger number of lines
the compiler is claiming that it's compiled.

the detail is what looks like a signature

Before the real compile starts a so called "preprocessor" handels
"preprocessor commands". One of such command is for example "#include",
which you can imagine as "insert the content of the file here". This way
your Program gets bigger then you expect.

The compilation process involves seven distinct translation phases (there is
an eighth, but that's to do with linking, not compilation). The
implementation is free to merge separate phases as long as this doesn't
change the behaviour of the resulting code.

The phases are:

1) Translation from physical environment to source environment, if
necessary, and trigraph replacement.

2) Line splicing.

3) Decomposition into preprocessing tokens, and comment removal.

4) Preprocessing (#include, #define, and all that).

5) Conversion of character constants and string literals from the source
character set into the execution character set.

6) Concatenation of string literals.

7) Compilation (or interpretation).

It is probably because your implementation is reporting on the total number
of lines, including those resulting from a #include (possibly a standard
header).
