While compilers for highlevel programming languages are large complex software systems, they have particular characteristics that differentiate them from other software systems. Compiler construction this is a wikipedia book, a collection of wikipedia articles that can be easily saved, imported by an external electronic rendering service, and ordered as a printed book. When implementing a dsl compiler or interpreter the input is, of course, dsl source code. In the case of syntactic analysis, they led to fully automatic techniques. A set of tokens, known as terminal symbols terminals are the basic symbols from which strings are formed. The nonterminals define sets of strings that help define the language generated by the grammar.

The first part of the book describes the methods and tools required to read program. The plain parsetree constructed in that phase is generally of no use for a compiler, as it does not carry any information of how to evaluate the tree. Parsing, syntax analysis, or syntactic analysis is the process of analyzing a string of symbols, either in natural language, computer languages or data structures, conforming to the rules of a formal grammar.
Note that compilers are typically not generating the full preprocessed source before starting the syntactic analysis.
