| Question 13 |
Which data structure in a compiler is used for managing information about variables and their attributes?
| Abstract syntax tree | |
| Symbol table | |
| Semantic stack | |
| Parse Table |
Question 13 Explanation:
Symbol tables are data structures that are used by compilers to hold information about source-program constructs. The information is collected incrementally by the analysis phases of a compiler and used by the synthesis phases to generate the target code. Entries in the symbol table contain information about an identifier such as its character string (or lexeme) , its type, its position in storage, and any other relevant information.
