So, finally its time to do some coding . A lexer is nothing but a piece of software whose job is to take in an input ,in our case the source code of the language and return a series of predefined tokens that corresponds to each and every character in...

In 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...
