The number of tokens in the following C statement.
printf("i = %d, &i = %x", i, &i);
I think there are 12 tokens here. But my answer is wrong.
Can anybody tell me how to find the tokens in the above C statement?
PS: I know that a token is source-program text that the compiler does not break down into component elements.
As far as I understand C code parsing, the tokens are (10 in total):
printf
(
"i = %d, &i = %x"
,
i
,
&
i
)
;
I don't count white space, it's generally meaningless and only serves as a separator between other tokens, and I don't break down the string literal into pieces, because it's an integral entity of its own.
