COMP2022: Assignment 2
Due: 23:59pm Sunday 20th October 2019 (end week 10)
1 The grammar G [10%]
Consider the following grammar G, which represents a fragment of a simple programming language:
S ! SL j "
L ! A; j E; j C;
E ! (EBE) j N j V
A ! let V =E
C ! while E do S j while E do S else S
B ! + j - j * j >
V ! x j y j z
N ! ND j N0 j D
D ! 1 j 2 j 3 j 4 j 5 j 6 j 7 j 8 j 9 (you can denote this [1-9])
In this assignment, you can ignore whitespace in the strings (i.e. spaces and newlines are not part of the
language, but should be used for the sake of readability).
i) List the variables of G
ii) List the terminals of G
iii) Give a leftmost derivation of the string let x=(y-20); while 1 do y;;
iv) Draw a parse tree for the string: let x=(y-20); while 1 do y;;
2 Prove that L(G) is not regular [5%]
Prove that the language generated by G is not a regular language, by contradicting the Pumping Lemma.
3 Prove G is not LL(1) [5%]
Prove that G is not an LL(1) grammar.
4 Find an equivalent LL(1) grammar G′ [10%]
Find an equivalent grammar G′ which is LL(1), by using the grammar transformation techniques shown
in lectures, or otherwise. Describe the process and show your working.
1
5 LL(1) parse table [15%]
Complete the LL(1) parse table for G′. Describe the process and show your working, including:
1. FIRST sets for all the production rules of G′
2. FOLLOW sets for variables of G′ only if they are needed
6 Implementation [25%]
Implement a program which parses strings using an LL(1) table driven parser, using the table you
determined for G′ in the previous exercise. You may use Python, Java, C, C++, or Lisp. If you’d like to
use a different language then please check with us frst.
• Input:
The frst command line argument is the flename of a fle containing the string of characters to test.
• Output:
1. Print a trace of the execution, showing the steps followed by the program as it performs the
left-most derivation. This should look similar to parsing the string through a PDA. An example
of this is given in the appendices.
2. After parsing the whole input fle, print ACCEPTED or REJECTED, depending on whether or not
the string could be derived by the grammar.
3. If there is a symbol in the input string which is not a terminal from the grammar, the program
should output ERROR_INVALID_SYMBOL (This could be during or before trying to parse the
input.)
• All whitespace in the input fle should be ignored (line breaks, spaces, etc.). The output will be easier
to read if you remove the whitespace before starting the parse.
• Examples of the program output syntax are provided in the appendices.
7 Extension [30%]
You may pick one of the following extensions to improve your parser. Any one of the following ideas
would be sufcient (do not implement more than one). They are listed roughly in order of increasing
difculty/effort, but are worth the same marks:
a) Use the FIRST and FOLLOW sets to implement an error recovery feature. This should give the user
suggestions on possible corrections which could change strings which could not be derived in G′ For
this extension you need to:
• Implementation: If a second command line argument error is given, then instead of rejecting
a string that is not in the language, it should make suggestions about how to correct it. The
user chooses one of the options, then the program should continue the parse. Some examples
are provided in the appendices. This should be included in the code you submit to PASTA.
• Report: Explain how your error recovery feature uses the FIRST and FOLLOW sets to work,
and show some useful examples.
b) Extend your program to be able to evaluate the input program, if a second command line argument
eval is given. Some examples are provided in the appendices, and some supplementary material will
be provided on Ed to explain the algorithm needed to build and evaluate the parse tree. This should
be included in the code you submit to PASTA.
• Implementation:
2
– Build a parse tree as it performs the leftmost derivation.
– Evaluate that parse tree.
• Report: Give some examples of usage
c) Implement a second parsing algorithm. You could implement:
• the CYK algorithm, or
• a LR(1) parser
• Note: a recursive descent parser would not be sufcient (too easy).
You will need to submit your code to PASTA, as well as including some details in your report
comparing your second parser to the frst one (what are the advantages and disadvantages of this
parser compared to the LL(1) table driven parser.)
d) Something else? Check with your tutor to see if they think it’s appropriate.
8 Submission details
Due 23:59pm Sunday 20th October 2019. The late submission policy is detailed in the administrivia lecture
slides from week 1. Please notify us if you intend to make a late submission, or if you believe you will not
be able to submit, to make it easier for us to support you.
8.1 Canvas submission
You must submit a report as a single document (.pdf or .docx) to TurnItIn via Canvas. The written parts
of the report must be text, not images of hand-writing. Any diagrams can be images, of course. The report
should include:
• Task 1 – 5: Your answers, working, and explanations
• Task 6: A description of the testing runs you used, including examples of the output. Show enough
to convince the marker that your testing was comprehensive
• Task 7: A description of your extension, including documentation about how to use it and some
examples of input/output
8.2 PASTA submission
Exact submission details (such as requirements on the name of the program) will be provided next week.
• Task 6: submit your source code.
• Task 7: submit your source code, if relevant
The visible tests for task 6 (the implementation) will be just enough to show you that you have got
the input/output syntax correct. It will not test the correctness of your program (you are expected to test
that yourself!)
There will be no automatic testing of any extra functionality you added as an extension.
8.3 Marking criteria
The weight of marks for each question are noted next to each question.
• Tasks 1 – 5: The marks will be roughly evenly divided between correctness, and on your working
and explanations.
• Task 6: The marks will be roughly evenly divided between automatic marking (for correctness) and
hand marking (based on your testing, the quality of your explanations, code, etc.)
• Task 7: The extension will be hand marked.

9 Appendices
9.1 Example of string derivations
Suppose we had a program which parsed this grammar fragment (your grammar will be different!):
E ! (F ) j T (start variable)
F ! +EE
T ! 0 j 1 j 2 j 3
Example 1: For the input:
✞ ☎
(+12)
✝ ✆
The output might look like this (note: it doesn’t need to line up neatly):
✞ ☎
(+12)$ E$
(+12)$ (F)$
+12)$ F)$
+12)$ +EE)$
12)$ EE)$
12)$ VE)$
12)$ 1E)$
2)$ E)$
2)$ V)$
2)$ 2)$
)$ )$
$ $
ACCEPTED
✝ ✆
Example 2: For the input:
✞ ☎
( +
1
3 )
✝ ✆
The output is the same, because we ignore all the whitespace:
✞ ☎
(+12)$ E$
(+12)$ (F)$
...
ACCEPTED
✝ ✆
Example 3: For the input:
✞ ☎
(++3)
✝ ✆
We get:
✞ ☎
(++3)$ E$
(++3)$ (F)$
++3)$ F)$
++3)$ +EE)$
+3)$ EE)$
REJECTED
✝ ✆
It is rejected because there would be no entry in the parse table for (E; +).

9.2 Extension option A (error recovery)
Reminder: your code should only run the extension if a second command line argument error is given.
Otherwise it should behave normally.
This appendix shows a few examples of what using an error recovery feature might look like. Your
output and features do not need to be identical to these examples, it is only a guideline to give you some
ideas.
Suppose we had a program which parsed this grammar fragment (your grammar will be different!):
E ! (F ) j T (start variable)
F ! +EE
T ! 0 j 1 j 2 j 3
There are three key steps to implementing error recovery. More marks will be awarded to more useful/sophisticated features.
9.2.1 Identifying the error
The frst step is to be able to describe the error. Examples:
✞ ☎
(+1+)$ E$
(+1+)$ (F)$
+1+)$ F)$
+1+)$ +EE)$
1+)$ EE)$
1+)$ VE)$
1+)$ 1E)$
+)$ E)$
Error: got +, but expected {0, 1, 2, 3, (}.
REJECTED
✝ ✆
✞ ☎
1)$ E$
1)$ T$
1)$ 1$
)$ $
Error: got ), but expected $.
REJECTED
✝ ✆
9.2.2 Recovering with user intervention
The next step would be to give the user the option to correct the error and allow the derivation to continue.
For example, you might have an option to delete the next input symbol:
✞ ☎
(+123)$ E$
(+123)$ (F)$
+123)$ F)$
+123)$ +EE)$
123)$ EE)$
123)$ VE)$
123)$ 1E)$
23)$ E)$
23)$ V)$
23)$ 2)$
5
3)$ )$
Error: got 3, but expected {)}.
Delete input? Y
)$ )$
$ $
ACCEPTED (+12)
✝ ✆
It’s a bit more powerful if we also allow the user to insert a symbol:
✞ ☎
(+12$ E$
(+12$ (F)$
+12$ F)$
+12$ +EE)$
12$ EE)$
12$ VE)$
12$ 1E)$
2$ E)$
2$ V)$
2$ 2)$
$ )$
Error: got $, but expected {)}.
Add input? )
)$ )$
$ $
ACCEPTED (+12)
✝ ✆
Better still, would be to allow the user to choose to delete or insert (so they can replace a symbol)
9.2.3 Making useful suggestions
You might automatically suggest which is the ‘best’ correction. For example, you might have the program
explore each option automatically, then recommend the correction which leads to an accepted string using
a minimal number of changes. For performance reasons, it would be wise to limit the maximum number
of changes to some fairly small number (e.g. no more than 5 changes).
6
9.3 Extension option B (evaluation)
Reminder: your code should only run the extension if a second command line argument eval is given.
Otherwise it should behave normally.
9.3.1 Semantics of the language:
• S := a sequence of one or more commands to execute.
• E := an expression to evaluate, possibly including variables
• (EBE) := apply the two expressions to some binary operator.
– arithmetic is normal integer arithmetic (e.g. 5 - 3 is -2)
– > := 1 if the inequality is true, 0 otherwise
• N := a strictly positive integer.
• V := a variable label.
• let V = E; := assign the result of evaluating E, to V
• E; := output (print) the result of evaluating E
• while E do S; := as long as E evaluates to a non-zero number, do S
• while E do S else S; := as long as E evaluates to a non-zero number, do the frst S. If E evaluates
to zero (possibly after some repetitions), do the second S.
• If there is more than one expression in the program, they should be evaluated in order. The only
output is the E; statements!
9.3.2 Examples of output:

9.3.3 More information:
In the resources section on Ed, in the category “Supplementary Material”, there are some resources to help
you:
• Slides explaining the concepts
• A worked example of the process of building a parse tree following this algorithm
• Some code examples of evaluating a parse tree for a simpler grammar (in Python, Java and C++)
