Abou Zuhayrblog.zuhayr.dev·Oct 8, 2024Building a Parser: A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Constructing an AST-Based ParserIn our previous article, we built a lexer that converts code into tokens, breaking down the input into meaningful pieces. Now, the next exciting step is to write a parser, which takes these tokens and organizes them into a meaningful structure called...DiscussWhat, How and Why?parser
Abou Zuhayrblog.zuhayr.dev·Oct 3, 2024Understanding How Parsers Work : Writing My Own Programming LanguageSo, you’ve built a lexer that can break down source code into meaningful tokens—things like keywords, operators, and symbols. But what's next? While lexing breaks the input into smaller parts, it doesn’t tell us how these parts fit together. That’s w...DiscussWhat, How and Why?parser

In the world of programming languages, a grammar is a set of rules that defines the structure of valid statements within the language. It's the backbone of how we write and interpret ...DiscussThe Sodum Project: Unraveling Programming Language Design and Implementationprogramming languages
Sawez Faisalsawezfaisal.hashnode.dev·Sep 30, 2024Chapter 4: Tokens??Tokens are the smallest meaningful part of the source code ( the high level language). So if your language contains if keyword it should have a token “IF” that would allow the compiler to identify the stream of characters in a source code and then se...DiscussThe Sodum Project: Unraveling Programming Language Design and ImplementationProgramming Blogs
Jyotiprakash Mishrablog.jyotiprakash.org·Sep 23, 2024Having Fun with ParsersImagine you're speaking a language only your computer can understand, and it's hanging on to every word you say, trying to figure out exactly what you mean. This is essentially what a parser does—it reads your code (or any structured input) and tries...Discuss·10 likescontext-free grammar
