Compilation of different languages will be explored here. All programming languages are compiled and processed by compiler right. Each language has different steps to execute the code into machine language. First will start with .Net (C#).

.Net (C#)

.NET application executed by CLR (Common Language Runtime) execution engine. Compiler convert the source code into IL(Intermediate Language) and store in an assembly (.exe or .dll). Then CLR loads the assembly and Just-in- time compiler converts IL code into native machine code. Then it will be executed by CPU.CLR also provide the memory management, security, exception handling and garbage collection.

Step 1: write C# source code

class Program

{

static void Main()

{

Console.WriteLine("Hello World");

}

}

Step 2: Compiled into IL

(.cs) convert to Intermediate language by CIL (Common Intermediate Language)

Step 3: Create assembly

This assembly is platform independent.

MyApp.exe

├── IL Code

├── Metadata

└── Manifest

Step 4: Load assembly

CLR Loads the assemblies and verify the security then Performs garbage collection process.

Step 5:

The Just-In-Time (JIT) Compiler convert (Intermediate language IL code into native machine code. Then CPU executes the generated native machine code. During execution, CLR services will support the application running.

In one-line steps:

Source Code → IL → Assembly → CLR → JIT → Native Code → Execution

Python

Python source code complied by Python Virtual Machine (PVM).its handles function execution, Memory management, Imports and runtime environment. Source code(.py) files first compiled to (.pyc) platform-independent bytecodes. Then PVM read and execute this bytecode. Only two step process simple and flexible also across operating systems.

Step 1: Create python code

Example:

print("Hello Python")

Step 2: Compiled to byte codes

compiled bytecode is stored in the pycache folder as .pyc files

pycache/ hello.cpython-313.pyc

Step 3: Execute code

Python Virtual Machine loads the bytecode and executes it instruction by instruction.

In one-line steps:

Source Code (.py) → Bytecode (.pyc) → PVM → Output

JAVA

Java source code once compiled it capable of executing Anywhere like platform independent. (.java) source code compiled by compiler as javac, then creates bytecode (.class) file. JVM load the bytecode and the JIT compiler converts it into native machine code for execution

Step 1: Write java code

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello World");

}

}

Step 2: Compile using javac

Java compiler (javac) converts the source code into Bytecode and creating .class file.

Step 3: Bytecode Generation

The .class file contains Java Bytecode, which is platform independent. This .class file can run anywhere.

Step 4:

JVM load the .class file using JIT(Just in time) compiler and converts into machine code. Also its verify security and load required classes

In one-line steps:

Source Code → compiler → javac → Bytecode (.class) → JIT → Native Code → Execution
