Recursive Descent Parsing is a compiler technique for analyzing and processing programming languages. It decomposes a language's grammar into smaller parts, parsing these components recursively to understand the syntax.
Our project presents "Our C", a simplified subset of the C language, aimed at facilitating learning of fundamental programming concepts. Despite its simplicity, it maintains key features of C.
The goal of this project is to develop an interpreter for "Our C" using C++ and Recursive Descent Parsing. This approach allows us to interpret "Our C" code effectively, providing a useful tool for educational purposes in programming.
This section is dedicated to the grammar and syntax of Our C, a unique language developed for this project. It goes beyond basic programming concepts, introducing learners to the nuances of language design.
- Syntax Rules: Detailed explanation of the syntax, focusing on the structure and rules that govern the language.
- Lexical Conventions: Exploration of the lexical elements of Our C, including tokens, identifiers, and other fundamental components.
Introduce the foundational concepts of the Our C language, focusing on basic operations and data types. This stage is designed to familiarize learners with the core aspects of the language.
