Before jumping into writing a lexical generator for your programming language, you should first look to better your understanding of general generators.
Have an interest in building a programming language? This guide will help start the steps to build your first lexer, the first part of a compiler!
Having a firm understanding of NFA Construction will make the process of constructing a lexical analyzer generator much easier.
Writing lexical analyzer generators is difficult. often its best to start simple. Follow this guide and you’ll find your way to the complex solution.
Subset Construction is often glossed over. It is hard to put to words but in this guide we walk through the theory with examples with descriptions all along.
In theory, implementing subset, construction is easy, but in practice, it can be hard. Follow along with this guide to build a great lexer for your language!
Tokenization may be an easy concept but in practice, it can often get confusing. Following this guide, we make this process easy by walking you through code.
Building NFA Constructed Lexers can be quite a task. Often times we overlook things while we are programming. Try these suggestions to your Lexer.
Understanding the time and space complexity of your program is important. In this article we break down why this shared states method is best.
