Implementation of Syntax directed translation

Syntax direct translation is implemented by constructing a parse tree and performing the actions in a left to right depth first order.

SDT is implementing by parse the input and produce a parse tree as a result.

Example

Production	Semantic Rules
S → E $	{ printE.VAL }
E → E + E	{E.VAL := E.VAL + E.VAL }
E → E * E	{E.VAL := E.VAL * E.VAL }
E → (E)	{E.VAL := E.VAL }
E → I	{E.VAL := I.VAL }
I → I digit	{I.VAL := 10 * I.VAL + LEXVAL }
I → digit	{ I.VAL:= LEXVAL}
