Lexical Analyzer
----------------

From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis Wikipedia]

Lexical analysis is the process of converting a sequence of characters (such as in a
computer program or web page) into a sequence of tokens (strings with an identified
"meaning"). A program that performs lexical analysis may be called a lexer, tokenizer,
or scanner (though "scanner" is also used to refer to the first stage of a lexer).

;The Task

Create a lexical analyzer for the Tiny programming language.

;Specification

operators:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Characters !! Common name !! Name
|-
| '*' || multiply || Mul
|-
| '/' || divide || Div
|-
| '+' || plus || Add
|-
| '-' || minus and unary minus || Sub and Uminus
|-
| '<' || less than || Lss
|-
| '<=' || less than or equal || Leq
|-
| '>' || greater than || Gtr
|-
| '!=' || not equal || Neq
|-
| '=' || assign || Assign
|-
| '&&' || and || And
|}

symbols:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Characters !! Common name !! Name
|-
| '(' || left parenthesis || Lparen
|-
| ')' || right parenthesis || Rparen
|-
| '{' || left brace || Lbrace
|-
| '}' || right brace || Rbrace
|-
| ';' || semi colon || Semi
|-
| ',' || comma || Comma
|}

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Characters !! Regular expression !! Name
|-
| integers || [0-9]+ || Integer
|-
| char literal || 'x' || Integer
|-
| identifiers || [_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9]+ || Ident
|-
| string literal || ".*" || String
|}


Notes: For char literals, '\n' is supported as a new line
character. To represent \, use: '\\'. \n may also be used in
Strings, to print a newline. No other special sequences are
supported.


keywords:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Characters !! Name
|-
| "if" || If
|-
| "while" || While
|-
| "print" || Print
|-
| "putc" || Putc
|}

comments: /* ... */ (multi-line)

Complete list of token names:

EOI, Print, Putc, If, While, Lbrace, Rbrace, Lparen, Rparen, Uminus, Mul, Div, Add,
Sub, Lss, Gtr, Leq, Neq, And, Semi, Comma, Assign, Integerk, Stringk, Ident

Output of the program should be the line and column where the
found token starts, followed by the Token name. For tokens
Integer, Ident and String, the Integer, identifier, or string
should follow.


Test Cases
----------

<lang c>
/*
Hello world
*/
print("Hello, World!\n");
</lang>

Output
------

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Line !! Number !! Column !! Number !! Token name !! other data
|-
| line || 4 || col || 1 || Print ||
| line || 4 || col || 6 || Lparen ||
| line || 4 || col || 7 || String || "Hello, World!\n"
| line || 4 || col || 24 || Rparen ||
| line || 4 || col || 25 || Semi ||
| line || 5 || col || 1 || EOI ||
|}

<lang c>
/*
Show Ident and Integers
*/
phoenix_number = 142857;
print(phoenix_number, "\n");
</lang>

Output
------

line 1 col 1 Ident phoenix_number
line 1 col 16 Assign
line 1 col 18 Integer 142857
line 1 col 24 Semi
line 2 col 1 Print
line 2 col 6 Lparen
line 2 col 7 Ident phoenix_number
line 2 col 21 Comma
line 2 col 23 String "\n"
line 2 col 27 Rparen
line 2 col 28 Semi
line 3 col 1 EOI

Diagnostics:
------------
The following error conditions should be caught:

Empty character constant. Example: ''
Unknown escape sequence. Example: '\r'
Multi-character constant. Example: 'xx'
End-of-file in comment. Closing comment characters not found.
End-of-file while scanning string literal. Closing string character not found.
End-of-line while scanning string literal. Closing string character not found before end-of-line.
Unrecognized character. Example: |

Refer additional questions to the C and Python implementations.
