# The Lexer component is finished. The draft of DutchScript is completed, several examples containing DutchScript as an example went through the lexer and tested, and the code of the lexer is documented. ## What is a Lexer? A lexical analyzer — more commonly referred to as ***lexer*** — is a software component that takes a string and breaks it down into smaller units that are understandable by a language. These smaller units are called ***lexical tokens*** or ***lexemes***. In other words, you can think of a lexer as a black box that takes a sentence as input and breaks it into smaller units —essentially, words.
