Grammars **[Master Yoda](https://daily.dev/sources/biixj2rltcrx7bbvxfw0d)** · [@pump1it](https://daily.dev/pump1it) · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary A webinar series on building a fictional programming language continues with a session focused on grammars. The session covers what a language is, how to formally describe it so a program can interpret sequences of symbols, and hands-on work with grammars. It follows a prior session on lexers, parsers, semantic analyzers, and evaluators. ## Content We’re continuing our webinar series on building your own fictional programming language! In our first session, we explored the core building blocks: the lexer, parser, semantic analyzer, and evaluator—how they work and how they fit together. Now it’s time to dive into grammars. What is a language, really? How can you describe it in a way that a program understands what a sequence of symbols means and what result it should produce? We’ll break it down in a clear and practical way—and, of course, get hands-on with grammars. [Join our webinar ](https://pvs-studio.com/en/webinar/25/)on March 27, 1:00 PM UTC+1—there will be lots of interesting insights to discover! ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Let's make a programming language.
