Steps in writing LEX Program:

Step – Using gedit create a file with extension .l For example: prg1.l
Step – lex prg1.l
Step – cc lex.yy.c –ll
Step – ./a.out

Steps in writing YACC Program:

Step: Using gedit editor create a file with extension y. For example: gedit prg1.y
Step: YACC –d prg1.y
Step: lex prg1.l
Step: cc y.tab.c lex.yy.c -ll
Step: /a.out
