The lexical analysis is the first phase of the compiler where a lexical analyser operate as an interface between the source code and the rest of the phases of a compiler. It reads the input characters of the source program, groups them into lexemes, and produces a sequence of tokens for each lexeme. The tokens are sent to the parser for syntax analysis. If the lexical analyzer is located as a separate pass in the compiler it can need an intermediate file to locate its output, from which the parser would then takes its input. It can eliminate the need for the intermediate file, the lexical analyzer and the syntactic analyser (parser) are often grouped into the same pass where the lexical analyser operates either under the control of the parser or as a subroutine with the parser. The lexical analyzer also interacts with the symbol table while passing tokens to the parser. Whenever a token is discovered, the lexical analyzer returns a representation for that token to the parser. If the tokenDanaea in} GD tutorialspoint (sensitinish arse.

If the token is a simple construct including parenthesis, comma, or a colon, then it returns an_ integer program. If the token is a more complex items including an identifier or another token with a value, the value is also passed to the parser. Lexical analyzer separates the characters of the source language into groups that logically belong together, called tokens. It includes the token name which is an abstract symbol that define a type of lexical unit and an optional attribute value called token values. Tokens can be identifiers, keywords, constants, operators, and punctuation symbols including commas and parenthesis. A rule — that represent a group of input strings for which the equal token is make as output is called the pattern. Regular expression plays an essential role in specifying patterns. If a keyword is treated as a token, the pattern is only a sequence of characters. For identifiers and various tokens, patterns form a_ difficult structure.

Lexical Analysis has to access secondary memory each time to identify tokens. It is time- consuming and costly. So, the input strings are stored into a buffer and then scanned by Lexical Analysis. Lexical Analysis scans input string from left to right one character at a time to identify tokens. It uses two pointers to scan tokens - * Begin Pointer (bptr) - It points to the beginning of the string to be read. * Look Ahead Pointer (Iptr) - It moves ahead to search for the end of the token. Example - For statement int a, b; * Both pointers start at the beginning of the string, which is stored in the buffer. | ptr ifele a[.[e fee * Look Ahead Pointer scans buffer until the token is found.BEES tutorialspoint ( B ova secre E roms 4B opestag sytem eo eg rm @css @ voce 2 maton crregening Ou co 0 songoos Sean ses oe Serves ory Peon h Mstemsix Bersih Q exons @ Paenseey @ soctowser 1B Famion Suter TTel]e al.le fr *The character — ("blank space") beyond the token (‘int’) have to be examined before the token ("int") will be determined.

Rules define the statement of form p1 {action1} p2 {action2}....pn {action}. Where pi describes the regular expression and action1 describes the actions what action the lexical analyzer should take when pattern pi matches a lexeme. 253" rasoacs rine User subroutines are auxiliary procedures needed by the actions. The subroutine can be loaded with the lexical analyzer and compiled separately.are Eas OQ % geeksforgeeks.org/int + Qo oS Introduction of Finite Automata Firite Avtomata{Fa) ie the simplest machine to recognize patternsit is ured to characteris = Regular Language, for example: aati Algo ti ued to analyze and rocognize Natural Language Expressions.
