Compiler Phases Implementation: Lexical and Syntax Analysis

Welcome to Group 6 repository for the CPT316 assignment on implementing the lexical and syntax analysis phases of a compiler.

Instructions to Run

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ahdeanlau/CPT316_Assignment_1.
2. Navigate to the source directory: cd CPT316_Assignment_1.
3. Run the program: python parse_code.py

Displaying the AST

1. Open the generated syntax_tree.dot file.
2. Copy the contents of the file.
3. Paste the contents into the Graphviz Online Editor.

Objective

This project aims to:

1. Provide hands-on experience in implementing the lexical and syntax analysis phases of a compiler.
2. Understand the role of these phases in parsing source code and generating an abstract syntax tree (AST).
3. Enhance our problem-solving and coding skills in building a functional compiler component.
4. Document our implementation to make it clear and comprehensible for others.
