Parsing is classified into two categories, i.e. Top-Down Parsing, and Bottom-Up Parsing. Top-Down Parsing is based on Left Most Derivation whereas Bottom-Up Parsing is dependent… Read More

The compiler is software that converts a program written in a high-level language (Source Language) to a low-level language (Object/Target/Machine Language/0, 1’s). A translator or… Read More
There are five generations of Programming languages. They are: First-Generation Languages : These are low-level languages like machine language. Second-Generation Languages : These are low-level assembly languages used in… Read More
