'''Compilation''' is the process of translating code written in a programming language into executable machine code. It consists of 4 steps:
:1. '''Lexical analysis''': convert source code into sequence of tokens.
:2. '''Syntactic analysis''': structure tokens into parse tree.
:3. '''Semantic analysis''': annotate parse tree with semantic actions.
:4. '''Code generation''': produce the final machine code.
A software program that automatically performs this compilation process is called a compiler.
