What is the difference between debug and compile?
How do I compile an application without debugging in Visual Studio?
Compile is the act of turning human-readable code into code the machine can understand and execute.
Debug is the act of finding out where in the code the application is going wrong (debug = get rid of bugs.)
In the context of an IDE, compile (Build in Visual Studio) just builds the code, debug (Run in Visual Studio) compiles the code, launches it and attaches a debugger.
