Gotta go with B and D, my dudes. A compiler is basically a fancy code translator, not a source code beautifier or an interpreter. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out!

Haha, C is a funny choice. Executing the source code? That's like asking a translator to perform the play they just translated. Nah, it's B and D all the way!

I believe a compiler's main job is to execute the source code, not just rearrange and translate it.

Definitely B and D. Rearranging the source code is the job of an IDE, not a compiler. The compiler's main task is to translate the code into a format the machine can understand.

I agree with Beula. It also checks the source code for errors before translating it.

I think the correct answers are B and D. A compiler checks the source code for correctness and then translates it into machine code that the computer can execute.

I think a compiler is used to rearrange the source code and translate it into machine code.
