1.the file u create in editor is saved as ".c" file
2. this '.s' file is then PREPROCESSED for compilation .
3. the preprocessed file undergoes compilation to generate a
'.asm' (assembly file) or '.s' or '.src' file.
4. this source file is assembled to generate a '.obj' file
5. this .obj file is combined with other '.obj' or '.lib' files to
generate an executable file.
