C program to detect tokens in a C program

As it is known that Lexical Analysis is the first phase of compiler also known as scanner. It converts the input program into a sequence of Tokens. 
A C program consists of various tokens and a token is either a keyword, an identifier, a constant, a string literal, or a symbol.
For Example: 

1) Keywords: 
Examples- for, while, if etc.

2) Identifier
Examples- Variable name, function name etc.

3) Operators:
Examples- '+', '++', '-' etc.

4) Separators:
Examples- ', ' ';' etc

Below is a C program to print all the keywords, literals, valid identifiers, invalid identifiers, integer number, real number in a given C program:






#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
 
// Returns 'true' if the character is a DELIMITER.
bool isDelimiter(char ch)

        ch == '/' || ch == ',' || ch == ';' || ch == '>' ||
        ch == '<' || ch == '=' || ch == '(' || ch == ')' ||
        ch == '[' || ch == ']' || ch == '{' || ch == '}')
        return (true);
    return (false);

// Returns 'true' if the character is an OPERATOR.
bool isOperator(char ch)

// DRIVER FUNCTION

    return (0);
}

Output: 

'int' IS A KEYWORD
'a' IS A VALID IDENTIFIER
'=' IS AN OPERATOR
'b' IS A VALID IDENTIFIER
'+' IS AN OPERATOR
'1c' IS NOT A VALID IDENTIFIER
