IDEs with an inbuilt code compiler allow developers to transform source code into a language the target CPU can understand directly.
A code compiler transforms source code from high-level programming languages, such as Python or C++, into machine code that the CPU can directly understand. This process involves several steps, including lexical analysis, parsing, semantic analysis, optimization, and code generation. This allows programmers to create complex applications without needing to write directly in machine code, and the resulting program can operate on specific hardware or operating systems.
