Description

The TFPExpressionScanner class performs lexical analysis on expression strings, breaking them into tokens that can be consumed by the expression parser. It handles the low-level details of character recognition, string parsing, and token classification.

The scanner recognizes all token types defined in TTokenType including operators, literals, identifiers, keywords, and delimiters.
