What is the primary role of lexical analysis in the compilation process?

• To execute the program

• To convert high-level code into machine code

• To analyze the syntax of the code

• To break down the source code into tokens

Which of the following best describes tokenization in lexical analysis?

• Converting tokens into machine code

• Breaking down the source code into meaningful symbols

• Analyzing the logical flow of the program

• Optimizing the code for better performance

What is a common challenge faced during lexical analysis?

• Optimizing execution speed

• Handling syntax errors

• Managing memory allocation

• Dealing with ambiguous patterns

How can ambiguous patterns in lexical analysis be resolved?

• By ignoring the patterns

• By implementing a priority rule

• By using a syntax tree

• By converting to machine code

Which strategy is effective in overcoming challenges in lexical analysis?

• Focusing only on syntax analysis

• Ignoring all errors

• Implementing a robust error-handling mechanism

• Using a single-pass compiler
