The syntax analysis is often referred as parsing and this part does the syntax analysis if larger constructs in the program like expression and program units. The output from parsing is a parse tree.

The two main goals of the syntax analysis are as follows:

(1) Validate the input program by checking any syntactical errors in the program.

• If any syntax error is found, an error messaged should be produced and the parser should recover from the error. This means if an error is found it should not stop, but go back to its normal state and resume its validation...
