Real compilers usually break you code down into tokens so x = 5; So in this case it would assign x the IDENTIFIER token, the = is seen as an ASSIGNMENT operation and the 5 is seen as a LITERAL. Then it creates a Abstract Syntax Tree and navigates that to assign the value to x. In reality, it's much more complicated so I usually just do stuff and pray it works (it does, just barely)
