GNU Compiler Collection (edited) https://gcc.gnu.org "The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, and Go, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++,...)" It's like the Java Virtual Machine, in the sense that it can handle more than one language. SoloLearn runs gcc 4.8.1: https://code.sololearn.com/cu8tmoP4h80H/?ref=app

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler system produced by the GNU Project supporting various programming languages. GCC is a key component of the GNU toolchain and the standard compiler for most Unix-like Operating Systems. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) distributes GCC under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). GCC has played an important role in the growth of free software, as both a tool and an example. read more here https://cheeze.club/x4v2
