• Tiny Language Description
• Tiny Language Context Free Grammar Document
• Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) for Tiny Language

Description

The implementation of the compiler is divided into two main phases:

• Scanner Phase (Lexical Analysis): Recognizes basic language units (tokens) such as identifiers, literals, operators, and keywords, extracting their attributes and storing them in a symbol table.

• Parser Phase (Syntax Analysis): Builds a syntax tree from tokens and validates their arrangement against the source code grammar to ensure syntactic correctness

Testing

Add NUnit NuGet Packages

• Open the NuGet Package Manager by right-clicking on your project in Solution Explorer and selecting Manage NuGet Packages.

• Then search for NUnit3TestAdapter and install it.
  • This adapter allows NUnit tests to be discovered and run using Visual Studio's test runner.

Alternatively, you can use the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package NUnit
Install-Package NUnit3TestAdapter
