Object Code

Object code, or sometimes an object module, is what a computer compiler produces. In a general sense object code is a sequence of statements or instructions in a computer language, usually a machine code language or an intermediate language such as RTL. Object files can in turn be linked to form executable file or library file. In order to be used, object code must either be placed in an executable file, a library file, or an object file.
