Written Assignments
HW 1: Regular Expressions and Finite Automata | Due 2/6 before class
JFLAP is a Java-based educational tool for helping you understand the front-end analyses of a compiler. Among its functionalities is the ability to convert between NFAs, DFAs, and REs. Feel free to get help from this tool if you hit a roadblock. You may also use the tool to quickly draw state graphs instead of drawing by hand.
JFLAP: Java-based tool for regular expressions and grammars.

HW 2: Grammars Parsers | Due 3/4 before class
Just like for HW 1, JFLAP is going be your friend. JFLAP allows you to generate LL and LR parser tables given a grammar and takes you through the steps to do it. Feel free to use it to generate your answers, but make sure you understand what it is doing.
