# JAVA-Syntax-Validator

This project aims to develop a custom lexer and parser in Python using PLY (Python Lex-Yacc) to validate common syntax in the Java programming language.

## Features

- **Custom Lexer**: Tokenizes input Java code according to defined regular expressions.

- **Custom Parser**: Parses tokenized input according to specified grammar rules to validate syntax.

- **Modular Design**: Easily extendable for adding more syntax validations.

## Installation

1. Clone this repository:

    ```bash

    git clone https://github.com/your_username/java-syntax-validator.git

    ```

2. Install the required Python packages:

    ```bash

    pip install ply

    ```

## Usage

### Running the Array Declaration Syntax Validation

1. Navigate to the project directory.

2. Run the following command:

    ```bash

    python code_array.py

    ```

3. Enter a sample array declaration statement when prompted, e.g. `int[] arr = new int[50];`.

4. The program will output whether the input statement is a valid Java array declaration or not.

### Running Other Syntax Validations

1. Repeat steps 2-4 from the above section, replacing `code_array.py` with the corresponding validator script (e.g., `code_construct.py`).
