Compilers are utilities that transform programs written in higher level languages like Pascal, C, and C++ into lower level languages like the assembly language program or the machine code. The machine code can be directly executed on a computer to perform various tasks. The assembly language program can be converted to machine code by using another utility called assembler and then executed on a computer.

The textbook is intended for an introductory level student who is familiar with C/C++ Programming. The goal is to cover the basics of the compiler theory rather than being an exhaustive complete reference in the subject. The textbook would be ideal for graduate/undergraduate level of students taking an introductory course on the compilers. It is particularly well suited for undergraduate students of computer science and information technology engineering. This book can also be used by professionals who wish to understand the basics of compilers in order to prepare themselves for working on projects based on compilers.
