I've got to write a code parser but am really stuck
I have to read a file, process each token and output to a new file.
Reading and writing to files isn't a problem, it's processing each token.
What i've done is read the file and add each token to a vector.
I tried using a for loop which checks the current token and looks at other tokens in the vector. The problem is, is the loop is near the end and it's trying to look at other token that don't exist, the program crashes.
Is there a way i can look at the tokens without using a for loop?
An example is when the current token is an INT. I need to look at the token after the identifier to see if it's a '(' which means it's a function or a ',' or ';' which means it's a variable
There other occasions when i need to look ahead but if it's at the end of the loop i can't look forward
here is what i have so far
