 This coursework is worth 5\% and is due on 28 November at 16:00. You 
 are asked to implement a parser for the WHILE language and also 
-an iterpreter.
+an interpreter. You should use the lexer from the previous
+coursework for the parser. 
 
 
 
 \subsection*{Question 1 (marked with 1\%)}
 
-You need to lex and parse WHILE programs and submit the assembler 
-instructions for the Fibonacci program and for the program you submitted
-in Coursework 2 in Question 3. The latter should be so modified that 
-a user can input the upper bound on the console (in the original question
-it was fixed to 100).
+Design a grammar for the WHILE language and give the grammar 
+rules. The main categories of non-terminal will be:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item arithmetic expressions (with the operations from the
+  previous coursework, such as \pcode{+}, \pcode{*} and so on)
+\item boolean expressions (such as \pcode{<}, \pcode{!=} and 
+  so on)
+\item single statements (such as \pcode{skip}, assignments, \pcode{if}s,
+  \pcode{while}-loops and so on)
+\item compound statements separated by semicolons
+\item blocks which are enclosed in curly parentheses
+\end{itemize}
 
 \subsection*{Question 2 (marked with 2\%)}
 
+You should implement a parser based on parser combinators
+for the WHILE language. Be careful that the parser takes
+as input a stream of token generated by the tokenizer from
+the previous courswork. Your parser should be able to handle
+the WHILE programs in Figures~\ref{fib} and \ref{loop}.
+
+Give the parse tree for the statement:
+
+\begin{center}
+\code{if (a < b) then skip else a := a * b + 1}
+\end{center}
+
+A (possibly incomplete) datatype for parse trees in Scala would
+look as in Figure~\ref{trees}.
+
+\begin{figure}
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=Scala]
+abstract class Stmt
+abstract class AExp
+abstract class BExp 
+
+type Block = List[Stmt]
+
+case object Skip extends Stmt
+case class If(a: BExp, bl1: Block, bl2: Block) extends Stmt
+case class While(b: BExp, bl: Block) extends Stmt
+case class Assign(s: String, a: AExp) extends Stmt
+
+case class Var(s: String) extends AExp
+case class Num(i: Int) extends AExp
+case class Aop(o: String, a1: AExp, a2: AExp) extends AExp
+
+case object True extends BExp
+case object False extends BExp
+case class Bop(o: String, a1: AExp, a2: AExp) extends BExp
+\end{lstlisting}

 \subsection*{Question 3 (marked with 2\%)}
 
+Implement an interpreter for the WHILE language you
+designed and parsed above.
