The program is broken into two parts: the lexical analyzer and the syntax analyzer plus semantic. The lexical analyzer should recognize the token using DFA and return the token and the value. The syntax and semantic part can be done by using any algorithm that can check for the correct syntax (from lectures Recursive Descent Parsing or predictive parsing compound with semantic).The language that will be used as source program (calculator) will contain only the operations add, subtract, multiply, divide, power and minus unary operation.The language declares two types of variable, integer and real.Your source program will be saved in a file as text and you have to read a file and group the token. You have to used space to separate between tokens.

I have managed the code for the reading and writing files, but couldnt proceed further.
