Source-to-source compiler

A source-to-source compiler is like a translator that changes the source code written in one programming language into the source code written in another programming language. It helps us if we want to use different programming languages for different parts of our program so we don't have to write the same code over and over again. With the help of a source-to-source compiler, we can easily convert our code from one programming language to another in just a few steps!
