# "Nicht Haskel 2.0" Java Compiler

Realisation of a subset of the Java Standard Compiler in the course Compiler Construction of the 4th semester Computer Science at the Duale Hochschule Suttgart (Horb).

This project aims to provide a simplified version of the Java compiler, focusing on key language features and demonstrating the principles of compiler construction.

## Realised Java syntax

- **Data types**: `int`, `boolean`, `char`
- **Access modifier**: `public`, `protected`, `private`
- **Operators**: `=` `+` `-` `*` `%` `/` `>` `<` `>=` `<=` `==` `!=` `!` `&&` `||` `++` `--`
- **Keywords**: `class`, `this`, `while`, `do`, `if`, `else`, `for`, `return`, `new`, `switch`, `case`, `break`, `default`, `:`
- **Statements**:
    - `if` ... `if else` ... `else`;
    - `while` ... ;
    - `do` ... `while`;
    - `for`;
    - `switch` ... `case` ... ;
- **Comments**:
    - Single line: `// comment`
    - Multi-line: `/* comment */`
- **Further functions**:
    - All methods are overloadable
    - High maintainability and expandability through implementation of the visitor pattern
    - Logging Input and Outputs
    - Error Handling in the Semantic Check

## Used Tools

- [Maven 4.0](https://maven.apache.org/index.html)
    - Used for automating the build process and managing dependencies.
- [ANTLR4 v.13.1](https://www.antlr.org/)
    - Used to parse the input Java code into the Abstract Syntax Tree.
