AI-written overview

What is it?

Lexical Scanning in Go is in our Build your own Programming Language group, a list of tutorials about making your own tiny language and a program that runs it. We only know the title, short description and level from our list.

Is it for me?

It is for people who already know a bit of programming and want to see how languages work inside. Most items are Intermediate or Advanced, so it suits about age teen+ and up.

Grown-ups: this is an advanced topic. It is fine to take it slowly or leave it for later.

How to start

  1. Make sure you can write a simple program in some language.
  2. Open the tutorial with a grown-up and read the first step.
  3. Build the smallest part first, like reading numbers.

How much time?

Plan about 65 minutes at a time over about 8 sessions. (estimate)

65 min per session 8 sessions estimate

A plan you can follow

  1. Day 1 40 min Read the intro and set up.
  2. Week 1 90 min Build a tiny calculator.
  3. Week 2 90 min Add variables or commands.
  4. Week 3 90 min Write a program in your new language.

Times are estimates. Go at your own speed.
