Software Project Lab 1

Overview

This project involves the development of a lexical analyzer and an abstract syntax tree (AST) generator for a programming language. The lexical analyzer processes the source code to generate tokens, and the AST generator creates an abstract syntax tree from these tokens.

Features

• Lexical Analysis: The Lexing.cpp file reads the source code from myCode.txt, generates a string of tokens, and stores them in Lexing.txt.
• AST Generation: The AST_nw.exe executable reads the tokens from Lexing.txt and generates an abstract syntax tree (AST).

Workflow

1. Lexical Analysis:

   • Input: myCode.txt (source code)
   • Output: Lexing.txt (tokens)
   • Process: Lexing.cpp reads the source code, generates tokens, and writes them to Lexing.txt.

2. AST Generation:

   • Input: Lexing.txt (tokens)
   • Output: AST (abstract syntax tree)
   • Process: AST_new.cpp reads the tokens from Lexing.txt and generates an AST.

Technologies Used

• C++: For the lexical analyzer and AST generator.
