The function(s) of the Syntax phase is/ are__________________?

Correct answer: D. to recognize the major constructs of the language and to call the appropriate action routines that will generate the intermediate form or matrix for these constructs

  • A. to build a uniform symbol table
  • B. to build a literal table and an identifier table
  • C. to parse the source program into the basic elements or tokens of the language
  • D. to recognize the major constructs of the language and to call the appropriate action routines that will generate the intermediate form or matrix for these constructs

Explanation

The syntax phase recognizes language constructs and invokes the appropriate routines to build an intermediate representation. Breaking source text into tokens is the responsibility of lexical analysis, not syntax analysis.
