Compiler design is the study and practice of building software that translates source code written in a programming language into machine code, bytecode, or another target language. It covers stages like lexical analysis, parsing, semantic analysis, optimization, and code generation. Compiler engineers apply this knowledge to build language tools, interpreters, and optimizing compilers used throughout software development.
