On “Best way to parse binary operations”

Jonathan Blow has an amazing video on this: link to this video It is kinda lengthy, but really helped me understand how to approach this problem, and the solution is surprisingly easy! I really recommend watching it

On “What is this parsing algorithm?”

I'm pretty sure Jonathan Blow did something similar for Jai Programming Language. I saw it in one of his streams. Not sure if it is the same thing, but I'll link it here: [video (It might be interesting to watch the entire video too!) He basically just generates a tree from the expression, and once the tree is constructed, he then modifies the tree according to operator precedence.

Quick & dirty implementation of Jonathan Blow's binary operator precedence parsing algorithm I wrote this in odin-lang and I don't have time to rewrite it in C, but Odin seems quite similar to jai & go, so I'm sure whomever may want this can figure it out. pastebin link original showcase & explanation *You also get a FREE a visualization of the tree!*
