Execution (computing) For other uses, see Execution (disambiguation). Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or a virtual machine performs the instructions of a computer program. The instructions in the program trigger sequences of simple actions on the executing machine.
A software program is typically written in a high-level programming language such as C or Visual Basic. This native code is then compiled into machine code that can be run on a computer. The compiled code results in an EXE file; the resulting file is said to be executable, meaning it can be executed on a computer.
