Detailed explanation-1: -Symbol table is accessed only during lexical analysis and syntax analysis.
Detailed explanation-2: -In computer science, a symbol table is a data structure used by a language translator such as a compiler or interpreter, where each identifier (or symbol), constant, procedure and function in a program’s source code is associated with information relating to its declaration or appearance in the source.
