An Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) is a data structure widely used in compilers and programming language interpreters to represent the structure of source code in a hierarchical tree format. The nodes of the tree represent constructs occurring in the source code, such as expressions, statements, variable declarations, control structures, and more, while the edges represent the relationships between these constructs.
