| Semantic Analysis has several different meanings. They all boil down to determining meaning (semantics) from inputs. |

Quick example:
minus (-).
Does it mean unary minus -X, or binary minus, A - B when encountered? Or do the semantics go to a much higher level and A - B kicks off a huge matrix equation? Or perhaps it - acts as a marker in a regex range expression?
The semantics of - is actually kinda mind boggling.  The lexical analysis for - is pretty easy. It looks like -, minus.

that last comment was neither helpful, funny, or appropriate.
Semantic analysis with respect to computer science usually deals with parsers and compilers, such as this parser written by our own md.
I came across the definition for semantic analysis while looking up exactly what a parser does while trying to understand md's post.  |
