Compilation is a process that ensures that a program is syntactically correct, and also ensures its logical correctness.  The above statement is _____TrueFalse

The above statement is False.

Explanation

Compilation is a process in programming languages where the source code written by the programmer is translated into machine code or an intermediate code by a compiler. This process primarily focuses on syntactic correctness, which means that the code must adhere to the grammatical rules of the programming language. If the code contains syntax errors, the compiler generates error messages.

However, compilation does not ensure logical correctness of the program. Logical errors occur when the code is syntactically correct but does not perform the intended task or produces incorrect results based on the logic defined by the programmer. These issues are typically discovered during testing and debugging phases, after compilation has successfully completed.

Thus, while compilation checks for syntax, it does not fundamentally check the logic of the program, making the statement false.
