Class MiniComp

java.lang.Object
  itec.minicompiler.MiniComp

public class MiniComp

extends java.lang.Object

The MiniComp class is the executable part of the MiniCompiler, including the main-method where the Scanner, the Parser and the ErrorHandler are initialised and the source file is read.

The source file is read into a String what implies some limitations regarding to the length of the source code. But as the MiniCompiler isn't meant to handler big programs this is the most comfortable way. To make it easier for the Scanner the end of the source code is additionally marked with a \0.
