This code

ExpressionGrammar>>term

^ add / prod

ExpressionGrammar>>add

^ prod , $+ asParser trim , term

ExpressionGrammar>>prod

^ mul / prim

ExpressionGrammar>>mul

^ prim , $*

asParser trim , prod

ExpressionGrammar>>prim

^ parens / number

ExpressionGrammar>>parens

^ $( asParser trim , term , $) asParser trim

�

is not a code to evaluate in a workspace.

It the representation we use to express the implementation of a method

By example

�

ExpressionGrammar>>term

^ add / prod

�

means that on class�ExpressionGrammar, you need to add a method named term with source code

^ add / prod

�

�

So, you can either use a method browser to do it, or programatically do it by doing:

�

ExpressionGrammar compile: 'term

^ add / prod'

�

But this method is a bit ad hoc.

:)

Hope it helps ;)

Hello Everyone

�

I was going over PetitParser part on the pharo by example book.�http://pharobooks.gforge.inria.fr/PharoByExampleTwo-Eng/latest/PetitParser.pdf

�

It was all going good until page 11.

Script 1.19is for creating the class so this was fine. You get an ExpressionGrammar class with all the needed variables, but what about script 1.20?

�

Where does this script go? I understand what the code does. It is describing a grammar for mathematical expressions by defining what everything is and the rules of the grammar. I am not sure where shall I put this script to run it. In earlier examples I was using the workspace.

�

Any help is much appreciated.

Mohammad
