I have a simple language that I am trying to write a compiler for (yes it is homework) to compile a simple language I shall describe if necessary to java vm code.
It currently works pretty well I've just hit a bump with logical AND's and OR's.
Each work fine in a single if/while condition, but if I try and chain them things go wrong, correct me if I am wrong but I believe that AND has precedence, but I was wondering if there are logical ways of arranging them? I think is what I'm trying to ask, the java vm code output just has the compare and jump statements one after the other (which seems wrong). I realise it's quite abstract so maybe what I'm after is a pseudo code/algorithm for how to structure chained AND's and OR's.
EDIT: Currently just treats any combination of AND and OR as AND's. Comparing the factor/term/expression connection (compared to booleanfactor etc) I believe that AND has precedence? Just a thought.
Apologies if this is poorly understood :/
So i figure ill include relevant info just incase.
