## Indentation:
|
|
- A stack is maintained by the lexer to keep track of indentations. A count is accumulated for the number of whitespace characters before the first token. If the count changes from the previous line count, a stack operation is performed. If count increases, another value is added to the stack. If count decreases, the topmost value is popped from the stack.

## Challenges:
|
|
- Shift-reduce errors while parsing the grammar. One approach to fix is to change the grammar. We chose to fix this issue by adding a precedence as in the case of expr by adding right precedence for if and else.
|
|
- Handling errors was another challenge. This required debugging and small changes to program flow.
|
|
- Understanding the giving code was a small challenge and took some time before we could start coding.
|
|
|
|
## Improvements:
|
|
- Added more tests to rigorously check program flow and indentation.
|
|
- Support for multi-line strings.
