Assignment 1

This document provides instructions for Assignment 1 which involves developing a lexer and recognizer for a programming language called MC using ANTLR. Students are asked to modify an MC.g4 file to formally specify the MC language grammar and add test cases to LexerSuite.py and ParserSuite.py files. The assignment requires submitting the modified MC.g4, LexerSuite.py, and ParserSuite.py files by the announced deadline and warns against plagiarism.

Assignment 1
version 1.0

After completing this assignment, you will be able to

• define formally lexicon of a programming language.

• use ANTLR to implement a lexer for a programming language.

• define formally grammar of a programming language.

• use ANTLR to implement a recognizer for a programming language.

1 Specification
In this assignment, you are required to write a lexer and a recognizer for a program written
in MC. To complete this assignment, you need to:
• Set up the environment

– Make sure that java can run on your machine otherwise JAVA JDK must
be installed (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-
downloads-2133151.html )
– Download and install python 3 from https://www.python.org/
– Download file antlr-4.7.2-complete.jar from https://www.antlr.org/download.html
(the link below "Complete ANTLR-4.7.2 Java binaries jar").
– Set an environment variable named AN T LR_JAR keep the path to the file
antlr-4.7.2-complete.jar.
– Follow the instructions in Section Python Targets of https://www.antlr.org/download.html
to install/have antlr4-python3-runtime.
– Download assignment1.zip, unzip it and follow the instructions in initial/README.txt
to test your environment.

• read carefully the specification of MC language

• Modify initial/src/main/mc/parser/MC.g4. in the initial code to describe formally


MC language.Please fill in your id in the comment in the header of this file.

• Add more test in initial/src/test/LexerSuite.py and initial/sr/test/ParserSuite.py in


the initial code.

2 Submission
In this assignment, you are required to submit three files MC.g4, LexerSuite.py and Parser-
Suite.py. Note that you must submit 3 files, NOT compress them.

• Modify MC.g4 to detect tokens and check grammar of MC programs.

• Make 100 testcases in LexerSuite.py to test your lexer rule.

• For lexical errors, please throw the exception as follows:

– ErrorToken(<char>): when the lexer detects an unrecognized character


– UnclosedString(<unclosed string>): when the lexer detects an unterminated
string. The unclosed string is from the beginning of the string (without the
quote) to the newline or end of file, exclusively.
– IllegalEscapeInString(<wrong string): when the lexer detects an illegal escape
in string. The wrong string is from the beginning of the string (without the
quote) to the illegal escape, inclusively.

• Make 100 testcases in ParserSuite.py to test your grammar rules.

You can assume that there is at most one error in each test case.
The deadline of both phases of assignment 1 is announced in the class website.

3 Plagiarism
You must complete the assignment by yourself and do not let your work seen by someone
else, otherwise, you will be punished by the university rule for plagiarism.
