Compiler technology

rktiwary
 The following exercises use the simulator’s inbuilt
compiler. Click on the COMPILER… button to show
the compiler window.
Enter the following source code
program Ex1
n = 5
for i = 1 to 6
n = n + 1
if n = 3 then
n = 0
end if
next
end
 1. What are the Pass 1, Pass 2 and Pass 3 stages called? Briefly
explain the function of each stage based on your observations
Pass1:
Tokenizing source statements (Lexical Analysis)
Lexical analysis is the first phase of a compiler. It takes the
modified source code from language preprocessors that are
written in the form of sentences. The lexical analyzer breaks
these syntaxes into a series of tokens, by removing any
whitespace or comments in the source code.
program Ex1 n = 5 for i = 1 to 6 n = n + 1 if n = 3 then n = 0 end if next end
Pass2:
Constructing the symbol table

Pass 3
