Cycle 2 — p5: Simple Lexical Analyzer in C

Files:

• p5.c - Hand-written lexical analyzer implementation

Brief description:

This program implements a basic lexical analyzer (scanner/tokenizer) in pure C, without using Lex/Flex. Features:

1. Token Recognition:

   • Keywords (int, float, if, else, etc.)
   • Identifiers (variables, function names)
   • Numbers (integer literals)
   • Delimiters ({, }, (, ), [, ], ;, ,)
   • Basic operators (+, -, *, /, =, <, >)

2. Implementation details:

   • Uses character-by-character scanning
   • Maintains a keyword table
   • Handles whitespace and newlines
   • Provides token classification

Usage: Run the program and enter C-like code. The analyzer will output the tokens it recognizes with their types (KEYWORD, IDENTIFIER, NUMBER, etc.).
