Intermediate code generation takes source code and converts it into an intermediate representation that is easier for compilers to analyze and optimize before generating target code. This process involves translating source code into a three-address code format using quadruples or triples to represent operations and their operands, with data structures like lists used to store and manipulate the intermediate code.
