👉 Compilation math, often referred to as the process of translating a high-level programming language into machine code that a computer's processor can execute, involves several key steps. Initially, the compiler performs lexical analysis to break down the source code into tokens, such as keywords, identifiers, and operators. Next, syntax analysis constructs an abstract syntax tree (AST) to represent the program's structure. Semantic analysis then checks for semantic correctness, resolving symbols and ensuring type compatibility. During optimization, the compiler enhances the intermediate representation (IR) to improve performance, such as eliminating redundant calculations or reordering operations. Finally, code generation translates the optimized IR into machine-specific instructions, which are then stored in object code or directly executed by the CPU. This process ensures that the program is both efficient and accurately translated into machine language, enabling it to run on the target hardware.
