 Describe which language is generated by this grammar.
   
+\item Remember we have specified identifiers with regular expressions as
+  strings that start with a letter followed by letters, digits and
+  underscores. This can also be specified by a grammar rule or rules.
+  What would the rule(s) look like for identifiers? 
 
+  \solution{
+  \begin{plstx}[margin=1cm]
+  : \meta{Id\/} ::= \meta{Let\/}\cdot \meta{R}\\
+  : \meta{Let\/} ::= a \;\mid\; \dots \;\mid\; z\\
+  : \meta{Dig\/} ::= 0 \;\mid\; \dots \;\mid\; 9\\
+  : \meta{R\/} ::= \meta{Let\/} \cdot \meta{R\/} \;\mid\;
+                  \meta{Dig\/} \cdot \meta{R\/} \;\mid\;
+                  $\_$ \cdot \meta{R\/} \;\mid\; \epsilon\\
+  \end{plstx}  
+}
+
+\item If we specify keywords, identifiers (see above) and programs
+  by grammar rules, are there any problems you need to be careful
+  about when using a parser for identifying tokens?
+
+  \solution{Parsers do not have the POSIX rules (e.g.~longest munch
+    rule) built in. I am not aware that any parser does this out of
+    the box and you would need to build in such constraints into the
+    grammar rules or parsing mechanism.}
 
 \item {\bf(Optional)} Recall the definitions for $Der$ and $der$
       from the lectures. Prove by induction on $r$ the
