What is PIC compiler?

What is a pic compiler? A pic compiler (or any compiler) is a program that translates one computer program into another. Source code written in a high level language is translated into machine code that the microcontroller understands.

Which compiler is used in microcontroller?

When the target compiled program runs on a computer/platform/system in which CPU/operating system is different from where compiler is installed,this compiler is referred as cross-compiler. Tools such as µVision are widely used as compiler for different microcontroller variants.
