Explains tokenization in compilers and its role in breaking code into pieces
Full Transcript
Before compiling, source code is split into meaningful tokens. These tokens represent keywords, identifiers, numbers, and symbols. Tokenization is the first major step in building a compiler.
Original Description
Before any code can be compiled, it must first be broken down into smaller, meaningful pieces called tokens. These tokens act as the fundamental building blocks of a program, representing keywords, identifiers, numerical values, operators, and symbols. By converting raw source code into this structured sequence, tokenization forms the very first major stage of the compilation process, enabling the compiler to understand, analyze, and eventually translate the code into machine-executable form.......#compilerdesign, #tokens, #parsing
