Expression-Parser

Expression Parser is a versatile C-based parser designed for efficiency and speed, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It supports various operations, both arithmetic and bitwise, and can be extended to include additional features.

Supported Operations

The Expression Parser currently supports the following operations:

Arithmetic Operations

• Addition +
• Subtraction -
• Multiplication *
• Division /
• Modulo %

Bitwise Operations

• Left Shift <<
• Right Shift >>
• Bitwise AND &
• Bitwise OR |
• Bitwise XOR ^

You can use parentheses to control the order of operations and ensure precise calculations.

To compile and run the expression parser, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/b-sullender/expression-parser.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd expression-parser

3. Compile the application using GCC:

   gcc main.c -o exp

4. Run the program:

   ./exp

Extending the Parser

One of the key strengths of the Expression Parser is its extensibility. You can easily add support for more operations by following these guidelines:

1. Define the Operation: Add the name of the new operation to the TokenType enum. This enum defines the types of tokens that the parser can recognize.

2. Token Handling: In the getNextToken function, add an else if handler for your new token type and set the appropriate precedence. This step ensures that the parser recognizes the new token correctly.

3. Operation Implementation: In the parseExpression function, add an else if handler for your new token type. Here, you'll implement the actual operation associated with the new token type.

Feel free to experiment and expand the capabilities of the Expression Parser to meet your specific needs or contribute to its development.
