0 An executable file or program can be understood by the operating system of a computer and makes the computer perform a particular task.
1 an executable file is one that contains a program:
executable file/program/code Executable files carry out a series of instructions rather than store data.
Beware of unsolicited emails with executable attachments.
2 an executable price is one at which it is possible to buy or sell something:
The source code for a program, which may be in any language, as opposed to the linkable or executable binary produced from it by a compiler.
This is as opposed to object code, the derived binary executable form of a program.
An initial executable specification for the system can often be expressed easily and succinctly using a non-deterministic transition system.
Our translation has the property that executable functions have no parents and non-executable functions have exactly one parent.
Note that the subroutines that the rules document are already compiled to machine executable form.
Since an executable specification was an explicit goal of our work, we have made some modeling choices whose motivations may not be obvious at first.
From the operational semantics, a formal description of the monitor, and a program, they derive an instrumented executable file that performs the specified monitoring activity.
So far, all these learning systems in planning are executable codes lacking any type of user interaction.
