C Program Comment Removal & Parsing Guide

The document describes two programs: 1. A LEX program to remove comment lines from a C program and copy the resulting program to a new file. 2. A YACC program to recognize valid identifiers, operators, and keywords in a given C program text file. It provides the code and steps for implementing both programs.

Program 6

a) Write a LEX program to eliminate comment lines in a C program and


copy the resulting program into a separate file.
b) Write the YACC program to recognize valid identifiers, operators, and
keywords in the given text (C program) file.
teps in writing LEX Program:
1. Step – Using gedit create a file with extension .l For example:
prg1.l
2. Step – lex prg1.l
3. Step – cc [Link].c –ll
4. Step – ./[Link]
Steps in writing YACC Program:
1. Step: Using gedit editor create a file with extension y. For
example: gedit prg1.y
2. Step: YACC –d prg1.y
3. Step: lex prg1.l
4. Step: cc [Link].c [Link].c -ll
5. Step: /[Link]
