Detailed Description

Core Components

1. Node, Expression, Statement

• Node: Base node. Includes virtual print method for debugging and tracks line and column.
• Expression: Derived from Node, representing segments of code that resolve to a value (e.g., numbers, math, function calls).
• Statement: Derived from Node, representing actions or commands that do not necessarily return a value (e.g., loops, variable declarations).

2. Expressions

• Literals: NumberExpr, StringExpr, BooleanExpr, and NullExpr.
• Operators:
  • Unary: negation, logical NOT, and pointer operations (& address-of and * dereference)
  • Binary: arithmetic (+, -, *, /, %), logical (&&, ||), and comparisons (==, <, >=, etc.).
  • Postfix: increment (++) and decrement (--).
• Complex Access: ArrayAccessExpr, MemberAccessExpr (using .), and `CallExpr'.

3. Statements

• Variable & Types: Includes VarDecl for variables and TypeNode to represent types, including support for pointers and multi-dimensional arrays.
• Control Flow: Standard programming constructs like IfStmt, WhileStmt, ForStmt, SwitchStmt (with CaseClause), BreakStmt, and ContinueStmt.
• Organization: BlockStmt for grouping code, ImportStmt/ExportStmt for modularity, and FunctionDecl for defining reusable logic.
• ?: UnsafeBlockStmt, reserved for future use.

4. Data

• StructDecl & StructField
• StructInstanceExpr
