I have one doubt regarding when a compiler is used for compiling the program code written in some particular programming language then it must be also written in some programming language , so then who actually compiles the code written in the compiler .

Also in which file format does the compiler exists?

    The first compiler for a language must be compiled either by hand or by a compiler written in a different language.

    It can be compiled by running the compiler in an interpreter.

    More recently, the focus has shifted towards use of low level programming languages(better known as system programming) in order to design and compile the compiler.

    Search for YACC , it may answer some of your doubts. 😀
