Nov 26, 2017 at 12:00 comment added Sagar P This is not a exercise problem. I am just trying to understand the use of symbol table in various stages of compilation. I just wrote whatever I knew about symbol tables.

Nov 26, 2017 at 11:36 comment added Raphael This question appears to be unsuited for this site because questions of the form: "This is the exercise problem, this is my solution. Please grade!" are not interesting for anyone but you. Please see this related meta discussion, and these hints on asking questions about exercise problems. If you want to ask a specific question about a specific part of your attempt, please edit the question accordingly and it may be reopened. Otherwise, you might want to visit Computer Science Chat and get some feedback there.
Nov 26, 2017 at 11:14 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Which symbol table are you referring to, and in what kind of language/compiler architecture? A symbol table is a mapping from names to something, and in a typical build tool chain there is more than one something involved.

Nov 26, 2017 at 8:40 comment added Sagar P Is symbol table updated during parsing ?
Nov 26, 2017 at 8:12 comment added Yuval Filmus I doubt that the symbol table is updated after parsing. After all, its purpose is to associate names of variables to internal IDs. If you're using variables internally, they already have no name.
