  What is the purpose of the workshop session on the timetable?
  
  Slightly confused about how to undertake cw1 and what exactly we
  should be implementing. This is more for clarification of the cw1
  structure, including the implementation and questions present in
  cw1.

\begin{mybox3}{What is the trick?}\small
  What was the trick to improve the evil regular expressions matcher
  to have such good results compared to other programming languages?
  Is it working better on casual regular expressions (the ones that
  Python and Java handle pretty well), too? Or was it just optimised
  for these evil ones?
\end{mybox3}

\begin{mybox3}{}\small
  It was shown in the lectures that the pattern matching algorithms
  currently implemented in popular programming languages (Python, JS,
  Java, etc) are far slower than the algorithm we are going to be
  implementing in this module. My question is why do these programming
  languages not implement the algorithm that we are going to implement
  in this module?

% Questions

\begin{frame}[c]
\begin{mybox3}{}
  Are there any (common) languages that have a built-in regex
  implementation matching the set of functions of a formal 'simple'
  regular expression, as opposed to an 'extended' regular expression
  implemented in most regex-supporting languages?
\end{mybox3}

\begin{mybox3}{Passing Mark}
  I believe the assessment is 70\% coursework (broken into 10\% weekly
  stuff, 15\% mid term exam and 45\% CW in any programming language)
  and 30\% January exam. However, I would like to know if we just need
  40\% overall to pass the module or pass the each component
  individually?
\end{mybox3}

\hfill$\Rightarrow$ 40\% overall
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[c]
\begin{mybox3}{Regexes}
  Can we determine all the possible regular expressions matching a
  certain string? If we take into account all the possible ways to
  combine the operations: \bl{$\ZERO$}, \bl{$\ONE$},
  \bl{$r_1 + r_2$}, \bl{$r_1 \cdot r_2$}, \bl{$r^*$}?
\end{mybox3}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[c]
\begin{mybox3}{\bl{$L$} + Equivalence}
  When we explain why two regular expressions are not equivalent, what
  method is better for us, using mathematics formulas or making an
  example?

\begin{mybox3}{\bl{$L$}}
  Can the function L be applied to anything other than regular
  expressions? For example would L(L(c)) return anything?
\end{mybox3}

\hfill $\Rightarrow$ No
\end{frame} 

\begin{frame}[c]
\begin{mybox3}{\bl{$(a?)\{n\} \cdot a\{n\}$}}
  In the evil regexes section, is there any reason why in the regex
  \texttt{[a?]\{n\}[a]\{n\}} the square brackets are used? It is defined as a
  single character from the square brackets, however there is just one
  character, so it seems like it is not necessary. Maybe it is just
  necessary for the first part, because ? is a token instead of a
  character and we need to refer to a? as a ``unit''? Could regular
  brackets be used instead? Is there any difference apart from the
  fact that it would create a group? Also, are the regexes
  \texttt{[a?]\{n\}} and
  \texttt{a\{0,3\}} equivalent?
\end{mybox3}

  Hi Christian,

  I don’t see a problem: you certainly have higher order functions and
  it is easy to implement algebraic data types using classes. As far
  as I can see that’s all you need. You don’t get the static types but
  that should be obvious. Basically if you can do it in LISP you can
  do it in Python. The only problem could be stack overflows due to a
  lack of tail recursion optimisation. On the other hand you can
  simulate laziness using generators.

  Cheers,
  Thorsten

Where do most students struggle with this module? What will the format
of the exam be? What is the most efficient way of studying for the
exam? There are plenty of resources available on KEATS, but is there
anything else you'd recommend us to study? Although (just by skimming
the headings) the module seems to be a combination of practical and
theoretical matters, exactly in what field would the syllabus be
applied? Besides these questions and the ones other students asked, is
there anything else we should know? Thank you!
