Does the different compilers really make a difference ???

Since there are many compilers out there, does the code from one compiler will be different from the other ??? What would you recommend as a compiler for a experienced programmer ???

Older compilers may support legacy code and non-standard practices, which result in non-portable codes. Even older compilers would compile codes which won't even work with new ones, hence it is important to stay up to date.

Yes it does. Compilers have to assemble your code into machine code. This can be done many different ways. Some compilers are smarter and more efficient compared to others
