What are the types of comppilers?

Compilers can be categorized into several types based on their functionality and the stages of compilation they perform. The main types include single-pass compilers, which process the source code in one go, and multi-pass compilers, which analyze the code in multiple stages for optimization and error checking. Additionally, there are just-in-time (JIT) compilers that translate code at runtime for performance benefits, and cross compilers, which generate executable code for a different platform than the one on which they are running. Other classifications include interpreting compilers and optimizing compilers, which focus on improving execution efficiency.
