pa2_grammar.txt

To help you in writing an LL grammar, we have developed a tool to analyze a grammar and determine if

/*
 * This is a LL(1) grammar for part of Iota.  It does not yet handle the
 * following constructs:
 *      1. If statements
 *      2. Expression statements (i.e., stmt_expr)
 *      3. Binary and unary operator precedence
 *
 * The grammar only recognizes the module portion of the language
 * (i.e., .mod files).  Interfaces are up to you.
 *
 * This grammar file can be fed to Iota.util.LLAnalyze to check if it is LL(1):
 *      java Iota.util.LLAnalyze < pa2_grammar.txt

/*

 *        These can include simple expressions that begin with ID, assignments,

 *     2. ParenExprOrStmt matches statements that begin with LPAREN.
 *        These include simple expressions that begin with LPAREN and
 *        assignments.
 *     3. ExprNoAssign matches all other expression statements.
