Parsing is interpreting an input stream of tokens according to a grammar,
resulting in a tree of nodes where the leaves are tokens from the input
stream and the non-leaf nodes are language constructs, e.g. 'procedure' or
'sentence'. Have you been given a textbook for this subject? I wouldn't know
what to recommend today. Have you done a web search for 'compiler
construction tutorial' or something like that?
