-part, you are asked to implement a regular expression matcher based on
-derivatives of regular expressions. The background is that
-``out-of-the-box'' regular expression matching in mainstream languages
-like Java, JavaScript and Python can sometimes be excruciatingly slow.
-You are supposed to implement an regular expression matcher that is

-\subsection*{Reference Implementation}
-
-This Scala assignment comes with three reference implementations in form of
-\texttt{jar}-files you can download from KEATS. This allows you to run any
-test cases on your own
-computer. For example you can call Scala on the command line with the
-option \texttt{-cp re.jar} and then query any function from the
-\texttt{re.scala} template file. As usual you have to
-prefix the calls with \texttt{CW9a}, \texttt{CW9b} and \texttt{CW9c}.
-Since some tasks are time sensitive, you can check the reference
-implementation as follows: if you want to know, for example, how long it takes
-to match strings of $a$'s using the regular expression $(a^*)^*\cdot b$
-you can query as follows:
-
-
-
-\begin{lstlisting}[xleftmargin=1mm,numbers=none,basicstyle=\ttfamily\small]
-$ scala -cp re.jar
-scala> import CW9c._  
-scala> for (i <- 0 to 5000000 by 500000) {
-  | println(f"$i: ${time_needed(2, matcher(EVIL, "a" * i))}%.5f secs.")

-\subsection*{Preliminary Part (4 Marks)}
-
-The \emph{Shunting Yard Algorithm} has been developed by Edsger Dijkstra,
-an influential computer scientist who developed many well-known
-algorithms. This algorithm transforms the usual infix notation of
-arithmetic expressions into the postfix notation, sometimes also
-called reverse Polish notation.
-
-Why on Earth do people use the postfix notation? It is much more
-convenient to work with the usual infix notation for arithmetic
-expressions. Most modern calculators (as opposed to the ones used 20
-years ago) understand infix notation. So why on Earth? \ldots{}Well,
-many computers under the hood, even nowadays, use postfix notation
-extensively. For example if you give to the Java compiler the
-expression $1 + ((2 * 3) + (4 - 3))$, it will generate the Java Byte
-code
-
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=JVMIS,numbers=none]
-ldc 1 
-ldc 2 
-ldc 3 
-imul 
-ldc 4 
-ldc 3 
-isub 
-iadd 
-iadd
-\end{lstlisting}
-
-\noindent
-where the command \texttt{ldc} loads a constant onto the stack, and \texttt{imul},
-\texttt{isub} and \texttt{iadd} are commands acting on the stack. Clearly this
-is the arithmetic expression in postfix notation.\bigskip
-
-\noindent
-The shunting yard algorithm processes an input token list using an
-operator stack and an output list. The input consists of numbers,
-operators ($+$, $-$, $*$, $/$) and parentheses, and for the purpose of
-the assignment we assume the input is always a well-formed expression
-in infix notation.  The calculation in the shunting yard algorithm uses
-information about the
-precedences of the operators (given in the template file). The
-algorithm processes the input token list as follows:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item If there is a number as input token, then this token is
-  transferred directly to the output list. Then the rest of the input is
-  processed.
-\item If there is an operator as input token, then you need to check
-  what is on top of the operator stack. If there are operators with
-  a higher or equal precedence, these operators are first popped off
-  from the stack and moved to the output list. Then the operator from the input
-  is pushed onto the stack and the rest of the input is processed.
-\item If the input is a left-parenthesis, you push it on to the stack
-  and continue processing the input.
-\item If the input is a right-parenthesis, then you pop off all operators
-  from the stack to the output list until you reach the left-parenthesis.
-  Then you discharge the $($ and $)$ from the input and stack, and continue
-  processing the input list.
-\item If the input is empty, then you move all remaining operators
-  from the stack to the output list.  
-\end{itemize}  
-
-\subsubsection*{Tasks (file postfix.scala)}
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[(1)] Implement the shunting yard algorithm described above. The
-  function, called \texttt{syard}, takes a list of tokens as first
-  argument. The second and third arguments are the stack and output
-  list represented as Scala lists. The most convenient way to
-  implement this algorithm is to analyse what the input list, stack
-  and output list look like in each step using pattern-matching. The
-  algorithm transforms for example the input
-
-  \[
-  \texttt{List(3, +, 4, *, (, 2, -, 1, ))}
-  \]
-
-  into the postfix output
-
-  \[
-  \texttt{List(3, 4, 2, 1, -, *, +)}
-  \]  
-  
-  You can assume the input list is always a  list representing
-  a well-formed infix arithmetic expression.\hfill[1 Mark]
-
-\item[(2)] Implement a compute function that takes a postfix expression
-  as argument and evaluates it generating an integer as result. It uses a
-  stack to evaluate the postfix expression. The operators $+$, $-$, $*$
-  are as usual; $/$ is division on integers, for example $7 / 3 = 2$.
-  \hfill[1 Mark]
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsubsection*{Task (file postfix2.scala)}
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[(3/4)] Extend the code in (7) and (8) to include the power
-  operator.  This requires proper account of associativity of
-  the operators. The power operator is right-associative, whereas the
-  other operators are left-associative.  Left-associative operators
-  are popped off if the precedence is bigger or equal, while
-  right-associative operators are only popped off if the precedence is
-  bigger. The compute function in this task should use
-  \texttt{Long}s, rather than \texttt{Int}s.\hfill[2 Marks]
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-
-\subsection*{Core Part (6 Marks)}
-
-The task is to implement a regular expression matcher that is based on
-derivatives of regular expressions. Most of the functions are defined by
-recursion over regular expressions and can be elegantly implemented
-using Scala's pattern-matching. The implementation should deal with the
-following regular expressions, which have been predefined in the file
-\texttt{re.scala}:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{lcll}
-  $r$ & $::=$ & $\ZERO$     & cannot match anything\\
-      &   $|$ & $\ONE$      & can only match the empty string\\
-      &   $|$ & $c$         & can match a single character (in this case $c$)\\
-      &   $|$ & $r_1 + r_2$ & can match a string either with $r_1$ or with $r_2$\\
-  &   $|$ & $r_1\cdot r_2$ & can match the first part of a string with $r_1$ and\\
-          &  & & then the second part with $r_2$\\
-      &   $|$ & $r^*$       & can match a string with zero or more copies of $r$\\
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent 
-Why? Regular expressions are
-one of the simplest ways to match patterns in text, and
-are endlessly useful for searching, editing and analysing data in all
-sorts of places (for example analysing network traffic in order to
-detect security breaches). However, you need to be fast, otherwise you
-will stumble over problems such as recently reported at

-% Knowing how to match regular expressions and strings will let you
-% solve a lot of problems that vex other humans.
-
-
-\subsubsection*{Tasks (file re.scala)}
-
-The file \texttt{re.scala} has already a definition for regular
-expressions and also defines some handy shorthand notation for
-regular expressions. The notation in this document matches up
-with the code in the file as follows:
-
-\begin{center}
-  \begin{tabular}{rcl@{\hspace{10mm}}l}
-    & & code: & shorthand:\smallskip \\ 
-  $\ZERO$ & $\mapsto$ & \texttt{ZERO}\\
-  $\ONE$  & $\mapsto$ & \texttt{ONE}\\
-  $c$     & $\mapsto$ & \texttt{CHAR(c)}\\
-  $r_1 + r_2$ & $\mapsto$ & \texttt{ALT(r1, r2)} & \texttt{r1 | r2}\\
-  $r_1 \cdot r_2$ & $\mapsto$ & \texttt{SEQ(r1, r2)} & \texttt{r1 $\sim$ r2}\\
-  $r^*$ & $\mapsto$ &  \texttt{STAR(r)} & \texttt{r.\%}
-\end{tabular}    
-\end{center}  
-
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item[(5)] Implement a function, called \textit{nullable}, by
-  recursion over regular expressions. This function tests whether a
-  regular expression can match the empty string. This means given a
-  regular expression it either returns true or false. The function
-  \textit{nullable}
-  is defined as follows:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{lcl}
-$\textit{nullable}(\ZERO)$ & $\dn$ & $\textit{false}$\\
-$\textit{nullable}(\ONE)$  & $\dn$ & $\textit{true}$\\
-$\textit{nullable}(c)$     & $\dn$ & $\textit{false}$\\
-$\textit{nullable}(r_1 + r_2)$ & $\dn$ & $\textit{nullable}(r_1) \vee \textit{nullable}(r_2)$\\
-$\textit{nullable}(r_1 \cdot r_2)$ & $\dn$ & $\textit{nullable}(r_1) \wedge \textit{nullable}(r_2)$\\
-$\textit{nullable}(r^*)$ & $\dn$ & $\textit{true}$\\
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}~\hfill[1 Mark]
-
-\item[(6)] Implement a function, called \textit{der}, by recursion over
-  regular expressions. It takes a character and a regular expression
-  as arguments and calculates the derivative of a regular expression according
-  to the rules:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{lcl}
-$\textit{der}\;c\;(\ZERO)$ & $\dn$ & $\ZERO$\\
-$\textit{der}\;c\;(\ONE)$  & $\dn$ & $\ZERO$\\
-$\textit{der}\;c\;(d)$     & $\dn$ & $\textit{if}\; c = d\;\textit{then} \;\ONE \; \textit{else} \;\ZERO$\\
-$\textit{der}\;c\;(r_1 + r_2)$ & $\dn$ & $(\textit{der}\;c\;r_1) + (\textit{der}\;c\;r_2)$\\
-$\textit{der}\;c\;(r_1 \cdot r_2)$ & $\dn$ & $\textit{if}\;\textit{nullable}(r_1)$\\
-      & & $\textit{then}\;((\textit{der}\;c\;r_1)\cdot r_2) + (\textit{der}\;c\;r_2)$\\
-      & & $\textit{else}\;(\textit{der}\;c\;r_1)\cdot r_2$\\
-$\textit{der}\;c\;(r^*)$ & $\dn$ & $(\textit{der}\;c\;r)\cdot (r^*)$\\
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-For example given the regular expression $r = (a \cdot b) \cdot c$, the derivatives
-w.r.t.~the characters $a$, $b$ and $c$ are
-
-\begin{center}
-  \begin{tabular}{lcll}
-    $\textit{der}\;a\;r$ & $=$ & $(\ONE \cdot b)\cdot c$ & \quad($= r'$)\\
-    $\textit{der}\;b\;r$ & $=$ & $(\ZERO \cdot b)\cdot c$\\
-    $\textit{der}\;c\;r$ & $=$ & $(\ZERO \cdot b)\cdot c$
-  \end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-Let $r'$ stand for the first derivative, then taking the derivatives of $r'$
-w.r.t.~the characters $a$, $b$ and $c$ gives
-
-\begin{center}
-  \begin{tabular}{lcll}
-    $\textit{der}\;a\;r'$ & $=$ & $((\ZERO \cdot b) + \ZERO)\cdot c$ \\
-    $\textit{der}\;b\;r'$ & $=$ & $((\ZERO \cdot b) + \ONE)\cdot c$ & \quad($= r''$)\\
-    $\textit{der}\;c\;r'$ & $=$ & $((\ZERO \cdot b) + \ZERO)\cdot c$
-  \end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-One more example: Let $r''$ stand for the second derivative above,
-then taking the derivatives of $r''$ w.r.t.~the characters $a$, $b$
-and $c$ gives
-
-\begin{center}
-  \begin{tabular}{lcll}
-    $\textit{der}\;a\;r''$ & $=$ & $((\ZERO \cdot b) + \ZERO) \cdot c + \ZERO$ \\
-    $\textit{der}\;b\;r''$ & $=$ & $((\ZERO \cdot b) + \ZERO) \cdot c + \ZERO$\\
-    $\textit{der}\;c\;r''$ & $=$ & $((\ZERO \cdot b) + \ZERO) \cdot c + \ONE$ &
-    (is $\textit{nullable}$)                      
-  \end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-Note, the last derivative can match the empty string, that is it is \textit{nullable}.\\
-\mbox{}\hfill\mbox{[1 Mark]}
-
-\item[(7)] Implement the function \textit{simp}, which recursively
-  traverses a regular expression, and on the way up simplifies every
-  regular expression on the left (see below) to the regular expression
-  on the right, except it does not simplify inside ${}^*$-regular
-  expressions.
-
-  \begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{l@{\hspace{4mm}}c@{\hspace{4mm}}ll}
-$r \cdot \ZERO$ & $\mapsto$ & $\ZERO$\\ 
-$\ZERO \cdot r$ & $\mapsto$ & $\ZERO$\\ 
-$r \cdot \ONE$ & $\mapsto$ & $r$\\ 
-$\ONE \cdot r$ & $\mapsto$ & $r$\\ 
-$r + \ZERO$ & $\mapsto$ & $r$\\ 
-$\ZERO + r$ & $\mapsto$ & $r$\\ 
-$r + r$ & $\mapsto$ & $r$\\ 
-\end{tabular}
-  \end{center}
-
-  For example the regular expression
-  \[(r_1 + \ZERO) \cdot \ONE + ((\ONE + r_2) + r_3) \cdot (r_4 \cdot \ZERO)\]
-
-  simplifies to just $r_1$. \textbf{Hint:} Regular expressions can be
-  seen as trees and there are several methods for traversing
-  trees. One of them corresponds to the inside-out traversal, which is also
-  sometimes called post-order tra\-versal: you traverse inside the
-  tree and on the way up you apply simplification rules.
-  \textbf{Another Hint:}
-  Remember numerical expressions from school times---there you had expressions
-  like $u + \ldots + (1 \cdot x) - \ldots (z + (y \cdot 0)) \ldots$
-  and simplification rules that looked very similar to rules
-  above. You would simplify such numerical expressions by replacing
-  for example the $y \cdot 0$ by $0$, or $1\cdot x$ by $x$, and then
-  look whether more rules are applicable. If you organise the
-  simplification in an inside-out fashion, it is always clear which
-  simplification should be applied next.\hfill[1 Mark]
-
-\item[(8)] Implement two functions: The first, called \textit{ders},
-  takes a list of characters and a regular expression as arguments, and
-  builds the derivative w.r.t.~the list as follows:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{lcl}
-$\textit{ders}\;(Nil)\;r$ & $\dn$ & $r$\\
-  $\textit{ders}\;(c::cs)\;r$  & $\dn$ &
-    $\textit{ders}\;cs\;(\textit{simp}(\textit{der}\;c\;r))$\\
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-Note that this function is different from \textit{der}, which only
-takes a single character.
-
-The second function, called \textit{matcher}, takes a string and a
-regular expression as arguments. It builds first the derivatives
-according to \textit{ders} and after that tests whether the resulting
-derivative regular expression can match the empty string (using
-\textit{nullable}).  For example the \textit{matcher} will produce
-true for the regular expression $(a\cdot b)\cdot c$ and the string
-$abc$, but false if you give it the string $ab$. \hfill[1 Mark]
-
-\item[(9)] Implement a function, called \textit{size}, by recursion
-  over regular expressions. If a regular expression is seen as a tree,
-  then \textit{size} should return the number of nodes in such a
-  tree. Therefore this function is defined as follows:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{tabular}{lcl}
-$\textit{size}(\ZERO)$ & $\dn$ & $1$\\
-$\textit{size}(\ONE)$  & $\dn$ & $1$\\
-$\textit{size}(c)$     & $\dn$ & $1$\\
-$\textit{size}(r_1 + r_2)$ & $\dn$ & $1 + \textit{size}(r_1) + \textit{size}(r_2)$\\
-$\textit{size}(r_1 \cdot r_2)$ & $\dn$ & $1 + \textit{size}(r_1) + \textit{size}(r_2)$\\
-$\textit{size}(r^*)$ & $\dn$ & $1 + \textit{size}(r)$\\
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-
-You can use \textit{size} in order to test how much the ``evil'' regular
-expression $(a^*)^* \cdot b$ grows when taking successive derivatives
-according the letter $a$ without simplification and then compare it to
-taking the derivative, but simplify the result.  The sizes
-are given in \texttt{re.scala}. \hfill[1 Mark]
-
-\item[(10)] You do not have to implement anything specific under this
-  task.  The purpose here is that you will be marked for some ``power''
-  test cases. For example can your matcher decide within 30 seconds
-  whether the regular expression $(a^*)^*\cdot b$ matches strings of the
-  form $aaa\ldots{}aaaa$, for say 1 Million $a$'s. And does simplification
-  simplify the regular expression
-
-  \[
-  \texttt{SEQ(SEQ(SEQ(..., ONE | ONE) , ONE | ONE), ONE | ONE)}
-  \]  
-
-  \noindent correctly to just \texttt{ONE}, where \texttt{SEQ} is nested
-  50 or more times?\\
-  \mbox{}\hfill[1 Mark]
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsection*{Background}
-
-Although easily implementable in Scala, the idea behind the derivative
-function might not so easy to be seen. To understand its purpose
-better, assume a regular expression $r$ can match strings of the form
-$c\!::\!cs$ (that means strings which start with a character $c$ and have
-some rest, or tail, $cs$). If you take the derivative of $r$ with
-respect to the character $c$, then you obtain a regular expression
-that can match all the strings $cs$.  In other words, the regular
-expression $\textit{der}\;c\;r$ can match the same strings $c\!::\!cs$
-that can be matched by $r$, except that the $c$ is chopped off.
-
-Assume now $r$ can match the string $abc$. If you take the derivative
-according to $a$ then you obtain a regular expression that can match
-$bc$ (it is $abc$ where the $a$ has been chopped off). If you now
-build the derivative $\textit{der}\;b\;(\textit{der}\;a\;r)$ you
-obtain a regular expression that can match the string $c$ (it is $bc$
-where $b$ is chopped off). If you finally build the derivative of this
-according $c$, that is
-$\textit{der}\;c\;(\textit{der}\;b\;(\textit{der}\;a\;r))$, you obtain
-a regular expression that can match the empty string. You can test
-whether this is indeed the case using the function nullable, which is
-what your matcher is doing.
-
-The purpose of the $\textit{simp}$ function is to keep the regular
-expressions small. Normally the derivative function makes the regular
-expression bigger (see the SEQ case and the example in (2)) and the
-algorithm would be slower and slower over time. The $\textit{simp}$
-function counters this increase in size and the result is that the
-algorithm is fast throughout.  By the way, this algorithm is by Janusz
-Brzozowski who came up with the idea of derivatives in 1964 in his PhD
-thesis.
-
-\begin{center}\small
-\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janusz_Brzozowski_(computer_scientist)}
-\end{center}
-
-
-If you want to see how badly the regular expression matchers do in
-Java\footnote{Version 8 and below; Version 9 and above does not seem to be as
-  catastrophic, but still much worse than the regular expression
-  matcher based on derivatives.}, JavaScript and Python with the
-`evil' regular expression $(a^*)^*\cdot b$, then have a look at the
-graphs below (you can try it out for yourself: have a look at the file
-\texttt{catastrophic9.java}, \texttt{catastrophic.js} and
-\texttt{catastrophic.py} on KEATS). Compare this with the matcher you
-have implemented. How long can the string of $a$'s be in your matcher
-and still stay within the 30 seconds time limit?
