In IDEs, you can compile source code into machine code. You can debug a program, which means stepping through the program and looking for errors. But what does building a program achieve? In VS, I'm aware that when you build a program it produces an executable file in a debug folder.

It means the process of converting the human-readable source artifacts into machine-readable artifacts.
