Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are 6 phases in the compiler, namely, lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantics analysis, intermediate code generation, code optimization, and code generation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 6 phases of a compiler are: Lexical Analysis. Syntactic Analysis or Parsing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Compilers have two phases: front-end and back-end. The front end includes lexical, syntax, and semantic analysis, which analyzes the source code. The back end focuses on code optimization and generation, producing the final machine code for execution.
