What do you mean "how"? By doing appropriate software development work. Do you expect us to tech you some complicated fields of programming in one or few Quick Answers?

I wanted to know different approaches for constructing abstract syntax trees and being a beginner, I have no idea.That is what I wanted to convey when I asked how to do. Anyways your input is highly appreciated and another thing I definitely did not expect you to teach in few answers, I'm not naive.However a guideline would have helped.Something to start with is better than nothing.

I agree. In essence, my comment was to invite you to get into finer detail in your question.
As formulated, your question hardly let us figure out exactly what kind pf help you may need.
