What happens to IL code at compile time?

Question

.NET

Code written in a language, for example, C#, is first converted to IL, and then somehow (I did not fully understand) it is converted to machine code.
And what will happen if you immediately write in IL? At compile time, will code written in IL just be translated into instructions for the processor?

And what will happen if you immediately write in IL?

Get bored quickly - that's what will happen.

Answer 2

The sources are translated into il code, which is then executed in clr. There is no machine code here.
