What happens during the compilation process known as Building, and what does it lead to?

During the compilation process, known as Building, the source code of a program written in a high-level language (e.g., Java) is transformed into an executable format. For Java, this means compiling .java files into bytecode (.class files), which can then be packaged into JAR or WAR archives.

Building involves several stages:

• Compiling source code into bytecode.
• Combining resources and dependencies.
• Optimizing and testing the code.
• Creating the final artifact (e.g., a JAR file).

As a result of the Building process, a ready-to-run or deployable software product is produced, which can be executed on the target platform (e.g., JVM for Java). This process helps identify syntax errors and prepares the program for execution.
