Question: Which of the following is a benefit of using intermediate code in a compiler?

Options:

1. It eliminates the need for parsing
2. It allows for easier debugging of the source code
3. It enables code generation for multiple target architectures
4. It simplifies lexical analysis

Correct Answer: It enables code generation for multiple target architectures

Solution:

Using intermediate code allows a compiler to generate code for multiple target architectures from the same intermediate representation, enhancing portability.
