Building a JavaScript interpreter, part 1 — Parsing with Pratt
📰 Medium · Programming
Learn to build a JavaScript interpreter using the Pratt parsing algorithm and improve your understanding of programming language internals
Action Steps
- Implement the Pratt parsing algorithm in JavaScript to parse expressions
- Build a lexer to tokenize the input code
- Create an abstract syntax tree (AST) to represent the parsed code
- Write a parser to construct the AST from the tokenized input
- Test the parser with sample JavaScript code to ensure correctness
