Abstract

This experience report describes a programming exercise designed to reinforce concepts of parsing, regular and context-free grammars, first sets, and abstract syntax trees. Students build a parser for a language with real applications. To make this feasible tools including a compiler compilers and automated support for the visitor design pattern, are used. The exercise is extensible.
