In programming language theory, a parser plays a crucial role. It's like a translator, converting source code into a format that a computer can understand.

The application reads expressions from stdin and directly calculates the answer without building a parse tree. A grammar for the D programming language is in examples/d/. The parser uses LALR with ...

Learn how to apply programming language theory to your coding. Discover how syntax, semantics, types, compilers, interpreters, paradigms, and abstractions can help you code better.

Top-down parsing, usually in the form of recursive-descent parsing, is efficient, easy to understand and is widely used to manually write parsers for real programming languages. However, due to the ...

The program is designed to parse a basic language that supports variable assignment, arithmetic expressions, reading inputs, and writing outputs. It checks whether the input code adheres to the syntax ...

A book I used, early on, to learn about parsing, used C++, but I was programming in another language at the time. I recommend it: “Writing Compilers and Interpreters: An Applied Approach”.

So I've had an idea for a project for a while and I've suddenly had some extra motivation to try it out. One (important) part of the project is to take ...

Actually, the code reads a simple language, uses recursive descent parsing to build a tree, and then uses a “compiler” to convert the tree to JavaScript (which can then be executed, of course).
