Question

Write an attribute grammar whose BNF basis is that of Example 3.6 in
Section 3.4.5 but whose language rules are as follows: Data types cannot
be mixed in expressions, but assignment statements need not have the
same types on both sides of the assignment operator.

Example 3.6 is attached 

EXAMPLE 3.6
An Attribute Grammar for Simple Assignment Statements
1. Syntax rule: <assign> → <var> = <expr>
Semantic rule: <expr>.expected_type ← <var>.actual_type
2. Syntax rule: <expr> → <var>[2] + <var>[3]
Semantic rule: <expr>.actual_type ←
if (<var>[2].actual_type = int) and
(<var>[3].actual_type = int)
then int
else real
end if
Predicate:
<expr>.actual_type
<expr>.expected_type
3. Syntax rule:
<expr> → <var>
Semantic rule: <expr>.actual_type ← <var>.actual_type
Predicate:
<expr>.actual_type
<expr>.expected_type
==
==
4. Syntax rule: <var> → A | B | C
Semantic rule: <var>.actual_type ← look-up (<var>.string)
The look-up function looks up a given variable name in the symbol table and
returns the variable's type.

Follow-up Question

hello ,

I don't understand how the new grammar you provided prevents mixing up the data types in the expressions . I think the answer should be in modifying the IF-Statement ?
