JAVA-Syntax-Validator

This project aims to develop a custom lexer and parser in Python using PLY (Python Lex-Yacc) to validate common syntax in the Java programming language.

Features

• Custom Lexer: Tokenizes input Java code according to defined regular expressions.
• Custom Parser: Parses tokenized input according to specified grammar rules to validate syntax.
• Modular Design: Easily extendable for adding more syntax validations.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your_username/java-syntax-validator.git

2. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install ply

Usage

Running the Array Declaration Syntax Validation

1. Navigate to the project directory.

2. Run the following command:

   python code_array.py

3. Enter a sample array declaration statement when prompted, e.g. int[] arr = new int[50];.

4. The program will output whether the input statement is a valid Java array declaration or not.

Running Other Syntax Validations

1. Repeat steps 2-4 from the above section, replacing code_array.py with the corresponding validator script (e.g., code_construct.py).
