\section*{Coursework 2 (Strand 1)}

\noindent This coursework is worth 5\% and is due on 6
November at 16:00. You are asked to implement the Sulzmann \&
Lu tokeniser for the WHILE language. You can do the
implementation in any programming language you like, but you
need to submit the source code with which you answered the
questions, otherwise a mark of 0\% will be awarded. However,
the coursework will \emph{only} be judged according to the
answers. You can submit your answers in a txt-file or as pdf.

\subsection*{Disclaimer}

It should be understood that the work you submit represents
your own effort. You have not copied from anyone else. An
exception is the Scala code from KEATS and the code I showed
during the lectures, which you can both use. You can also use
your own code from the CW~1.

\subsection*{Question 1 (marked with 1\%)}

To implement a tokeniser for the WHILE language, you first
need to design the appropriate regular expressions for the
following eight syntactic entities:

\begin{enumerate}
\item keywords are

\begin{quote}
\texttt{while}, 
\texttt{if}, 
\texttt{then}, 
\texttt{else}, 
\texttt{do}, 
\texttt{for}, 
\texttt{to}, 
\texttt{true}, 
\texttt{false}, 
\texttt{read}, 
\texttt{write},
\texttt{skip}
\end{quote} 

\item operators are

\begin{quote}
\texttt{+}, 
\texttt{-}, 
\texttt{*}, 
\texttt{\%},
\texttt{/},
\texttt{==}, 
\texttt{!=}, 
\texttt{>}, 
\texttt{<}, 
\texttt{:=},
\texttt{\&\&},
\texttt{||}
\end{quote} 

\item strings are enclosed by \texttt{"\ldots"} 
\item parentheses are \texttt{(}, \texttt{\{}, \texttt{)} and \texttt{\}}
\item there are semicolons \texttt{;}
\item whitespaces are either \texttt{" "} (one or more) or \texttt{$\backslash$n}
\item identifiers are letters followed by underscores \texttt{\_\!\_}, letters
or digits
\item numbers are \texttt{0}, \text{1}, \ldots
\end{enumerate}

\noindent
You can use the basic regular expressions 

\[
\varnothing, \epsilon, c, r_1 + r_2, r_1 \cdot r_2, r^*
\]

\noindent
but also the following extended regular expressions

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
$[c_1 c_2 \ldots c_n]$ & a range of characters\\
$r^+$ & one or more times $r$\\
$r^?$ & optional $r$\\
$r^{\{n\}}$ & n-times $r$\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\noindent
Try to design regular expressions to be as small as possible.

\subsection*{Question 2 (marked with 3\%)}

Implement the Sulzmann \& Lu tokeniser from the lectures. For
this you need to implement the functions $nullable$ and $der$
(you can use your code from CW~1), as well as $mkeps$ and
$inj$. These functions need to be appropriately extended for
the extended regular expressions from Q1. Write down the 
clauses for

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@ {}l@ {\hspace{2mm}}c@ {\hspace{2mm}}l@ {}}
$mkeps([c_1 c_2 \ldots c_n])$  & $\dn$ & $?$\\
$mkeps(r^+)$                   & $\dn$ & $?$\\
$mkeps(r^?)$                   & $\dn$ & $?$\\
$mkeps(r^{\{n\}})$             & $\dn$ & $?$\medskip\\
$inj\, ([c_1 c_2 \ldots c_n])\,c\,\ldots$  & $\dn$ & $?$\\
$inj\, (r^+)\,c\,\ldots$                   & $\dn$ & $?$\\
$inj\, (r^?)\,c\,\ldots$                   & $\dn$ & $?$\\
$inj\, (r^{\{n\}})\,c\,\ldots$             & $\dn$ & $?$\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\noindent where $inj$ takes three arguments: a regular
expression, a character and a value. Also add the record
regular expression from the lectures to your tokeniser and
implement a function, say \pcode{env}, that returns all
assignments from a value (such that you can extract easily the
tokens from a value).\medskip 

\noindent
Finally give the tokens for your regular expressions from Q1 and the
string

\begin{center}
\code{"read n;"}
\end{center} 

\noindent
and use your \pcode{env} function to give the token sequence.


\subsection*{Question 3 (marked with 1\%)}

Extend your tokenizer from Q2 to also simplify regular expressions
after each derivation step and rectify the computed values after each
injection. Use this tokenizer to tokenize the programs in
Figure~\ref{fib} and \ref{loop}. Give the tokens of these
programs where whitespaces are filtered out.
