lex code to find the largest words and its length 

***************************

%{

int wordlen = 0,i=0; char lwords[100][100];

%}

%option noyywrap

%%

[a-zA-Z]+ {


        if (yyleng > wordlen)

                       wordlen = yyleng;

        strcpy(lwords[i++],yytext);

        }

%%

int main() {

int j;

yylex();

printf("Maximum  length is %d ", wordlen);

printf("largest length words\n");

for ( j=0;j<i;j++)

 if(strlen(lwords[j])==wordlen)

    printf("%s\n",lwords[j]);

return 0;

}

Execution
flex lword.lex
$ gcc lex.yy.c
$ ./a.out
this is a program to find largest words from the input

Maximum  length is 7 largest length words
program
largest

Preamble:  This course aims to offer students hands-on experience on compiler design concepts.Students will be able to familiarize with tools such as LEX and YACC and automate different phases of a compiler. This course helps the learners to enhance the capability to design and implement a compiler. Prerequisite: A sound knowledge in C programming, Data Structures, Formal languages and Automata Theory and Compiler design.

 This program identifies tokens in a C program ignoring white spaces and comments.The input C program is given as argument ******************************* %{ #include <stdio.h> %} %option noyywrap /* Define regular expressions for different token types */ DIGIT      [0-9] LETTER     [a-zA-Z] IDENTIFIER {LETTER}({LETTER}|{DIGIT})* NUMBER     {DIGIT}+ WHITESPACE [ \t\n]+ COMMENT1    "//".* COMMENT2  "/*"([^*]|\*+[^/*])*\*+"/" %% {WHITESPACE}        { /* Ignore whitespace */ } {COMMENT1}           { /* Ignore comments */ } {COMMENT2}           { /* Ignore comments */ } "int"               { printf("TOKEN_INT\n"); } "return"            { printf("TOKEN_RETURN\n"); } "if"                { printf("TOKEN_IF\n"); } "else"              { printf("TOKEN_ELSE\n"); } "while"             { printf("TOKEN_WHILE\n"); } "for"               { printf("TOKEN_

13.Precedence and conflict resolution in yacc

-
We had seen that , when you feed yacc a grammar that is not LALR(1), it shows a warning and resolve the conflicts automatically. For a shift/reduce conflict, yacc will choose the shift. In a reduce/reduce conflict, it will reduce using the rule declared first in the file. We can control what happens by explicitly declaring precedence and associativity for operators. Rather than re-writing the grammar to implicitly control the precedence and associativity with a bunch of intermediate non-terminals, we can directly indicate the precedence so that yacc will know how to break ties. In the definitions section, we can add any number of precedence levels, one per line, from lowest to highest, and indicate the associativity (either left, right, or nonassoc). Several terminals can be on the same line to assign them equal precedence. Example: %token T_Int %left '+' %left '*' %right '^' %% E : E '+' E |E '*'
