The Role of a Parser

 In this process of compilation the parser and lexical analyzer work together. That means, when parser required string of tokens it invokes lexical analyzer .In turn, the lexical analyzer supplies tokens to syntax analyzer (parser).

 The parser collects sufficient number of tokens and builds a parse tree. Then by building the parse tree, parse smartly finds the syntactical errors if any. It is also necessary that the parse should recover from commonly occurring errors so that remaining task of process the input can be continued.
