Compiler Design: Error Detection and Recovery in
Error detection and recovery are crucial phases in the design of a compiler, as they ensure that errors in the source code are identified and managed gracefully. A robust error handling system allows the compiler to not only detect errors but also recover from them to continue parsing the input and provide meaningful feedback to…

Compiler Design: Syntax Analysis
Syntax analysis, or parsing, is the second stage in the compiler design pipeline, following lexical analysis. It validates the structural integrity of source code by ensuring it adheres to the grammatical rules of the programming language. Parsing transforms a sequence of tokens into a hierarchical structure called a parse tree or syntax tree, which serves…
