Writing a parser: basic terminology
Programming code (or any code that should be parsed) is usually plain text. It's just a sequence of characters. A tokenizer converts this sequence of characters into a sequence of tokens. A token is a group of characters that form a meaningful unit.
The parser analyzes this sequence of tokens and transforms it into a tree of operators (primitive functions) and operands (the arguments of the operators).
