    INTRODUCTION TO

    COMPILER AND ITS


    COUSINS
    “Understanding the Basics of Compilers,
    Interpreters, and Assemblers"

    presented by:
    Saptarshi Maji
    WHAT IS A
    COMPILER?
     Definition: A compiler is a program that
    translates high-level source code written
    in a programming language into machine
    code, bytecode, or another programming
    language.
     Purpose: To transform code so that it can
    be executed by a computer.
     Process: Source Code → Compiler → Machine
    Code
     Example Languages: C, C++, Java
    PHASES OF A
    COMPILER
     Lexical Analysis: Tokenizes the source code.
     Syntax Analysis: Parses tokens to create a syntax
    tree.
     Semantic Analysis: Checks for semantic errors.
     Intermediate Code Generation: Produces an
    intermediate code.
     Optimization: Enhances the intermediate code for
    performance.
     Code Generation: Converts intermediate code to
    machine code.
     Code Linking and Assembly: Links code modules and
    converts to final machine code.
    INTERPRETERS
     Definition: An interpreter directly executes
    instructions written in a programming or
    scripting language without previously
    converting them to machine code.
     Process: Source Code → Interpreter →
    Execution
     Advantages: Easier to debug, no need for
    separate compilation.
     Disadvantages: Slower execution compared to
    compiled code.
     Example Languages: Python, Ruby, JavaScript
    ASSEMBLERS
     Definition: An assembler converts
    assembly language, a low-level
    human-readable code, into machine
    code.
     Process: Assembly Code → Assembler
    → Machine Code
     Role: Used in systems programming
    and for performance-critical
    applications.
     Example: x86 Assembly Language
    COMPARISON AND
    CONCLUSION
     Compilers vs Interpreters:
    • Compilers: Translate entire code before
    execution, generally faster execution.
    • Interpreters: Translate code on the fly, easier
    for debugging.
    • Assemblers: Specialized for low-level code
    conversion.
     Conclusion: Each tool has its unique role and
    is chosen based on the needs of the
    application and development process.
