Abstract
Symbol table is the environment where the variables and functions/methods exist according to their scope and the most recent updated values are kept for the successful running of the code. It helps in code functioning. It is created during compilation and maintained, used during running of the code. Adding a utility called common file can help in conversion of one code to another code. As common file can be explained as the file containing the common functionalities of different languages, say, every language has a print function but with different syntax; these different syntax of print are added in common file which help in the conversion. In this paper, we present the compilation process mechanism with the help of common file in the symbol table. It also explains how a code is converted into another code.
