CoCoA:Grammar

Base grammar

A few rules to start the formal language definition. (They will slowly get more readable as soon as I get confidence with the wiki)

PROGRAM ::= <COMMAND> | $\mathrm{\Lambda }$

COMMAND ::= HELP_QUERY \newline | PACKAGE_DECL | FUNCTION_DECL | STATEMENT;

HELP_QUERY ::= ? <*>

PACKAGE_DECL ::= Package PACKAGE_ID <FUNCTION_DECL> End[Package]

FUNCTION_DECL ::= Define IDENTIFIER(PARAMS) STATEMENTS End[Define] | Define [Internal/External] IDENTIFIER(PARAMS)

PARAMS ::= <PARAM ,>

PARAM ::= [TYPE] IDENTIFIER

STATEMENT ::= $\mathrm{\Lambda }$

	| ASSIGNMENT
	| EXPRESSION
	| [[FUNCTION_CALL]
	| Return [[[EXPRESSION]]]
	| Print EXPRESSIONS
	| PrintLn [[[EXPRESSIONS]]
	| If EXPRESSION Then STATEMENTS [[[ELSE_LIST]]] End[If]
	| While EXPRESSION Do STATEMENTS End[While]
	| Repeat STATEMENTS Until EXPRESSION
	| For IDENTIFIER := EXPRESSION To EXPRESSION Step EXPRESSION Do STATEMENTS End[For]
	| ForEach IDENTIFIER In EXPRESSION Do STATEMENTS End[ForEach]
	| Break
	| Block STATEMENTS End[Block]
	| Declare [[[TYPE]]] <IDENTIFIER ,>
	| Delete <IDENTIFIER ,>

| Quit

ASSIGNMENT ::= LEFT_EXPRESSION := EXPRESSION

LEFT_EXPR ::= IDENTIFIER | LEFT_EXPR.IDENTIFIER | LEFT_EXPR.[<EXPRESSION ,>]

FUNCTION_CALL ::= FUNCTION_ID(<EXPRESSION ,>)

FUNCTION_ID ::= IDENTIFIER | EXPRESSION.IDENTIFIER | PACKAGE_ID.IDENTIFIER
