Why is it important to specify the compileSdk value in the build.gradle file for a project module?

The compileSdk value in the build.gradle file specifies the Android SDK version used for compiling the project. This is important because:

• It allows using new APIs and platform features available in the specified SDK version.
• Ensures compatibility with the chosen Android version, preventing compilation errors.
• It does not affect the minimum supported version (minSdkVersion), but determines which APIs are available during compilation.

For example, if you specify compileSdkVersion 33, you can use Android 13 APIs, but the app can still run on devices with a lower Android version if minSdkVersion allows.
