Hi
I understand that object file is created before the executable. But why is object file called so? Why not simply, say, pre-executable file? What does the word "Object" signify? Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm an outright beginner. Using Win XP Pro and Code::Blocks. Be nice to me, please.
Why do you care? If you were around when the decision made I guess we would be calling them "pre-executable" files. Look, all of the history of computer programming can be found very easily online, take a look at wikipedia. Please don't flood the boards, specifically the programming ones with these types of questions.
