C to Python Code Translator Tool

This project implements a C to Python code translator using Lex and Yacc, where Lex tokenizes C language elements and Yacc parses them to create an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for translation. It supports fundamental C constructs such as variable declarations, functions, control structures, and expressions, enabling the conversion of basic C programs into Python syntax. The project includes code files for lexical analysis and parsing, and it recognizes various C elements including data types, operators, and control flow keywords.

C to Python Code Translator

This project implements a C to Python code translator using Lex and Yacc.

Lex (tokens.l) is used for lexical analysis to tokenize C language elements, while Yacc (parser.y) is

responsible for parsing and constructing the syntax tree based on C grammar rules. The resulting

constructs form an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), which allows the translation of C code structures to

Python-compatible structures.

The project aims to support fundamental C constructs, including variable declarations, functions,

control structures, and expressions, among others. This setup allows the conversion of basic C

programs into Python syntax.

Code Files:

tokens.l (Lex file)

parser.y (Yacc file)

Supported Constructs:

Preprocessor Directives:

Detects #include lines for header files in C.

Whitespace:

Ignores spaces, tabs, and carriage returns.

Keywords:

Identifies control flow keywords like if, else, for, while, and return.

Data Types:

Supports int, double, char, and void data types.

Identifiers:

Handles variable names and function names.


Literals:

Supports integer, floating-point, character, and string literals.

Operators:

Includes assignment, comparison, logical, bitwise, and arithmetic operators.

Punctuation and Delimiters:

Recognizes parentheses, brackets, braces, dots, commas, and semicolons.

Newlines:

Counts newlines for error tracking.

Unknown Tokens:

Catches any unmatched characters as errors.

Program Structure:

Defines the top-level program structure.

Statements:

Supports various statements, including function declarations and expressions.

Block:

Handles blocks of code enclosed in { }.

Variable Declarations:

Supports declaring variables with optional initializations.

Function Declarations:

Handles function declarations with parameters and bodies.

Function Arguments:

Manages function declaration arguments.

Identifiers:

Processes variable and function names as identifiers.

Numeric Literals:
Handles integer, double, char, and string literals.

Data Types:

Supports C data types: int, double, char, void.

Pointers:

Recognizes pointer variables for operations like scanf.

Expressions:

Handles expressions like assignments, arithmetic, and function calls.

Logical Expressions:

Supports logical operations and comparisons.

Function Call Arguments:

Handles function call arguments.

Comparison Operators:

Groups comparison operators (==, !=, <, <=, >, >=).

Conditionals:

Supports if statements with optional else blocks.

Loops:

Handles for and while loops with their conditions and bodies.

Return Statements:

Supports return statements with or without values.

Array Declarations:

Supports declaring arrays with specified sizes.
