The code that is to be invoked when a rule is recognized.

Rules that describe the input elements.

YACC (Yet Another Compiler Compiler) is a tool used for describing input to a computer program. Inputs to computer programs will always have a specific structure, as a matter of fact we can say that a program defines the input language which it accepts.Īn input language can be simple for example a sequence of numbers or as complex as a programming language. In this article we discuss the two tools and show an example of generating a parser for a simple calculator. For a language to parsed by YACC or Bison, it has to be described by a context-free grammar and only those languages that are LALR(1) can be parsed by YACC or Bison.

YACC and Bison are tools used to generate parsers.

In this article we discuss YACC and Bison, both tools used to generate parsers for context free languages that are LALR(1).
