Compiler Construction

Compiler construction is the process of creating a compiler, which is a special program that translates code written in a programming language (like Python or Java) into machine code that a computer can understand and execute. This involves several steps: lexical analysis (breaking text into parts), syntax analysis (checking structure), semantic analysis (ensuring meaning is correct), optimization (improving performance), and code generation (producing machine instructions). Compilers are essential for software development, as they enable developers to write in high-level languages while ensuring that computers can efficiently run their programs.
