Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.12+

Stable release

To install slr-parser, run this command in your terminal:

pip install slr-parser

This is the preferred method to install slr-parser, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don't have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

From sources

The sources for slr-parser can be downloaded from the Github repo.

You can either clone the public repository:

git clone git://github.com/Vipul97/slr-parser

Or download the tarball:

curl -OJL https://github.com/Vipul97/slr-parser/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

python setup.py install

Usage

Grammar Syntax

• Each production rule is written with the head and body separated by ->.
• Nonterminals are capitalized (e.g., E, T); terminals are not (e.g., id, +).
• Symbols in the body of the production are separated by spaces. For multi-character symbols, spaces are omitted (e.g., id).
• The choice operator | can be used to separate alternatives in the body.
• The null symbol is represented by ^.

Grammar File

The grammar should be provided in a text file. Here's an example grammar.txt:

E -> E + T
E -> T
T -> T * F | F
F -> ( E )
F -> id

Tokens

The input tokens must be enclosed in double quotes and separated by spaces. For example: "id * id + id".

usage: slr [-h] [-g] grammar_file tokens

positional arguments:
  grammar_file  Path to the text file used as grammar
  tokens        Tokens to be parsed, separated by spaces

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -g            Generate automaton
