A program called the ______ combines the object program with other programs in the library and is used in the program to create the executable code.

Answer 1

Linker

Step-by-step explanation:

Computer Software development follows the following stages

Source Code - Compiler - (Compiled Source code + imported Libraries) Linker -Loader - Execution.

1. Source code is written by the programmer in a high level language like Java.
2. Next it is compiled by the compiler that checks the correctness and translates the source code to machine code. This is called the object code
3. Then a linker is used to combine the object code with pre-written libraries of code that are imported.
4. Next the Loader loads the executable code into main memory for execution
5. Finally, execution takes place
