Compiler

A Python-based compiler project implementing a lexer and parser for a custom language, using PLY (Python Lex-Yacc). This project demonstrates how to write a full-featured lexer and parser capable of handling declarations, function definitions, control statements, and more.

Features

• Lexical analysis and parsing for a C-like custom language
• Handles variables, functions, types, control flows (if, else, for, etc.), and more
• Based on PLY (Python Lex-Yacc)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
  Make sure Python is installed and available in your environment.

• PLY package
  Install PLY via pip:

  pip install ply

Installation

Windows

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/HoomanMoradnia/Compiler.git
   cd Compiler

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install ply

3. Run the compiler:

   python Compiler.py

   You can modify the test input at the bottom of Compiler.py or adjust it to take input from a file.

---

Linux

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/HoomanMoradnia/Compiler.git
   cd Compiler

2. Install dependencies:

   pip3 install ply

3. Run the compiler:

   python3 Compiler.py

   You can modify the test input at the bottom of Compiler.py or redirect input as needed.

---

Usage

• The main file is Compiler.py. It contains both the lexer and parser logic.
• By default, running the script will process sample code defined in the if __name__ == "__main__": block at the end of Compiler.py.
• To parse your own code, you can replace the test_input variable in the script or refactor the file to accept external input.
