Crafting Interpreters: Part 2 Representing Code

1. 1Define the grammar for the interpreter using a context-free grammar
2. 2Implement a lexer to tokenize the input code
3. 3Build an abstract syntax tree (AST) from the tokens
4. 4Write a parser to construct the AST from the tokens
5. 5Use the AST to execute the code or perform other operations

Software engineers and developers who want to learn about interpreter design and implementation in Go will benefit from this tutorial, as it provides a hands-on approach to building an interpreter from the ground up

💡 Abstract syntax trees (ASTs) are a fundamental data structure in interpreter design, allowing for efficient and flexible representation of code
