This activity generates a program from its specification program. Program generation activity bridges the specification gap.

• A program generator is a software system program that accepts the specifications of the program to be generated and generates the program in the target program in a target programming language.
• This activity generates a program from its specification.
• The program generator introduces a new domain between the application and the programming language domain called the program generator domain.
• It accepts the source program and generates a program in the target language.

Language processing activity bridges the ideas of software designers with actual execution on the computer system. The designer expresses the idea related to the application domain of the software. To implement these ideas, the description of the ideas has to be interpreted as related to the execution domain of the computer system. The fundamental of language processing activities are grouped into two categories:

1. Program generation activity.
2. Program execution activity.
