You use "I" for input followed by variable name (case-sensitive)
You use "O" for output (optionally variable name)

Look, my C# 114-line converter use this as input file:
Code:
O Hello World
O Press key in your name
I a
O Hi,
O a
O A
O Variable name is case-sensitive
O a
O Can you please enter your age?
I A
O Your age is...
O A


Then, generate the following programmatically:

Code:
format PE console
entry start


include 'win32a.inc'


section '.data' readable writable
    _stdin          dd ?
    _stdout         dd ?
    _dummy          dd ?


section '.code' code readable writable executable
    _S0000          db 'Hello World',13,10,0
    _S0001          db 'Press key in your name',13,10,0
    _S0002          rb 256
    _S0003          db 'Hi,',13,10,0
    _S0004          db 'a',13,10,0
    _S0005          db 'A',13,10,0
    _S0006          db 'Variable name is case-sensitive',13,10,0
    _S0007          db 'a',13,10,0
    _S0008          db 'Can you please enter your age?',13,10,0
    _S0009          rb 256
    _S0010          db 'Your age is...',13,10,0
    _S0011          db 'A',13,10,0
    _L0000          dd 14
    _L0001          dd 25
    _L0002          dd ?
    _L0003          dd 6
    _L0004          dd 4
    _L0005          dd 4
    _L0006          dd 34
    _L0007          dd 4
    _L0008          dd 33
    _L0009          dd ?
    _L0010          dd 17
    _L0011          dd 4

           mov      dword [_stdin], eax
           invoke   GetStdHandle, -11
           mov      dword [_stdout], eax


           invoke   WriteConsole, dword [_stdout], _S0000, [_L0000], _dummy, 0

           invoke   WriteConsole, dword [_stdout], _S0010, [_L0010], _dummy, 0
           invoke   WriteConsole, dword [_stdout], _S0009, [_L0009], _dummy, 0
           invoke   ExitProcess, 0


section '.idata' import readable writable
    library kernel32,'KERNEL32.DLL'


    import kernel32,\

           WriteConsole, 'WriteConsoleA', \
           ReadConsole, 'ReadConsoleA', \
           ExitProcess,'ExitProcess'


Result in command-prompt window:

Code:
C:\FASM>1
Hello World
 Press key in your name
 wong
Hi,
 wong
A
 Variable name is case-sensitive
 wong
Can you please enter your age?

I think that show the difficulty of creating good asm code from an HLL.

Otherwise, it's a good start.

Thanks, I have been described as someone who has zero knowledge in parser and lexer..... Embarassed

I use a lexer and parser written in Python from jayconrod.com.

With the "source code" below:
Code:
n := 5;
p := 1;
while n > 0 do
  p := p * n;
  n := n - 1
end


It gets analyzed as:

Code:
('n', 'ID')
(':=', 'RESERVED')
('5', 'INT')
(';', 'RESERVED')
('p', 'ID')
(':=', 'RESERVED')
('1', 'INT')
(';', 'RESERVED')
('while', 'RESERVED')
('n', 'ID')
('>', 'RESERVED')
('0', 'INT')
('do', 'RESERVED')
('p', 'ID')
(':=', 'RESERVED')
('p', 'ID')
('*', 'RESERVED')
('n', 'ID')
(';', 'RESERVED')
('n', 'ID')
(':=', 'RESERVED')
('n', 'ID')
('-', 'RESERVED')
('1', 'INT')
('end', 'RESERVED')

Result(CompoundStatement(CompoundStatement(AssignStatement(n, IntAexp(5)), AssignStatement(p, IntAexp(1))), WhileStatement(RelopBexp(>, VarAexp(n), IntAexp(0)), CompoundStatement(AssignStatement(p, BinopAexp(*, VarAexp(p), VarAexp(n))), AssignStatement(n, BinopAexp(-, VarAexp(n), IntAexp(1)))))), 25)


The first half is lexer, the second half is parser. I think it build AST (abstract syntax tree).

Pretty close to what I want, but still some difficulty to generate Assembly code based on the above.
