Given the following Three$-$Address Code, apply basic optimization techniques to simplify

the code. Apply techniques such as constant folding, constant propagation, strength reduction,

dead code elimination, and removing redundant Three$-$Address Codes. Provide the optimized

version of the code after each optimization step.

Three$-$Address Code:

$x=5**a$

$y=2+3**b$

$z=x+y$

$w=\frac{z}{2}$

$t=w**4$

$u=t-0$

$v=u**1$

Instructions:

Apply each optimization technique step by step and provide the resulting code after each

step.

Explain the rationale behind each optimization technique you apply.

Ensure that the final optimized code is simplified as much as possible while retaining its

original functionality.
