Syntax Analysis: The Gatekeeper of Meaning in Programming Languages
Abstract: Syntax analysis, often referred to as parsing, is a critical stage in the compilation or interpretation of a programming language. It follows lexical analysis and precedes semantic analysis.

This ensures that the code adheres to the defined grammar rules of the language. This
