COMPILER DESIGN

Detailed explanation-1: -A compiler is a computer program that translates a program written in a high-level language to the machine language of a computer. The compiler is used to translate source code into machine code or compiled code.

Detailed explanation-2: -A compiler translates the entire program written in a high-level language to machine language prior to execution. An interpreter translates a program line by line during execution.

Detailed explanation-3: -A compiler that supports the source programming language reads the files, analyzes the code, and translates it into a format suitable for the target platform. Compilers that translate source code to machine code target specific operating systems and computer architectures.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Compiler. A compiler takes the program code (source code) and converts the source code to a machine language module (called an object file).
