Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A compiler reads the whole source code at once, creates tokens, checks semantics, generates intermediate code, executes the whole program and may involve many passes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Intermediate code is used to translate the source code into the machine code. Intermediate code lies between the high-level language and the machine language.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is intermediate code? Ans: During the translation of a source program into the object code for a target machine, a compiler may generate a middle-level language code, which is known as intermediate code or intermediate text. The complexity of this code lies between the source language code and the object code.
