recursive descent parsing

Recursive descent parsing is a method used by computers to analyze and understand sentences or code written in a structured language. It works by breaking down a complex sentence into smaller parts, called rules or patterns, and then checking each part against these rules. The process involves functions calling themselves to handle nested or repeated structures, much like following a set of step-by-step instructions. This approach makes it easier for the computer to verify whether the sentence or code follows the expected grammar, ensuring it’s correctly formed before further processing.
