Gurgle is your friend.

Do you have a more specific question?
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.
Glider pilot's aphorism: "there is no substitute for span". Retort: "There is a substitute: skill+imagination. But you can buy span".

This is the best explanation i have found.
"Compiling is the act of turning source code into object code.

Linking is the act of combining object code with libraries into a raw executable.

Building is the sequence composed of compiling and linking, with possibly other tasks such as installer creation."

Source:- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2650168/building-vs-compiling-java#:~:text=Build%20is%20a%20compiled%20version,the%20program%20can%20be%20executed.

Testing one two three...

While the RPi is a Microcontroller, you're asking a general operating system/programming question that is not microcontroller specific.

Locking thread, if you still want to ask this, please open it under an appropriate topic in https://www.eevblog.com/forum/general-computing/
