Analysis Phase


              As translation progress the compiler's internal representation of source program
 change  
                         Position: = initial=RATE*60.
              The lexical analyzer phase needs the character in the source program and
groups them into a stream of tokens in which each token represents a logically cohesive
 sequence of character, such as an identifier, keyword(if, while, etc....)punctuation character,
or a multi-character operator like := the character sequence forming a tokens is called
the lexeme for the tokens
           Certain tokens will be augmented by "a lexical value".
 For example when an identifier like rate in found, the lexical analyzer not only generates
a tokens say id, but also enters the lexeme rate into the symbol table, if it is not already there.
The lexical value associated with this occurrence of 'id' point to the symbol table entry for
rate
