CS365 Project Assignment 2

implementation hints
sample formulas: A bunch of sample formulas you can use to test your interim formula interpreter.
generic formulas: A bunch of sample formulas with subscripts and with min, max, and sum that you can use to test your final formula interpreter.
The interim due date is April 1. You must have formulas with numeric subscripts working, i.e., the formula production:
```
	formula -> ID[NUMBER] = Exp NEWLINE
	
```
and all expressions except for sum, min, and max. You will note that sum, min, and max require celllists as parameters. The interim due date does not require you to handle RowLists or CellLists.
You can get 2-14 points extra credit by submitting your entire project from 1-7 days early. For example, if you submit by Wednesday, Apr. 7 at 11:59pm you will receive 2 points extra credit and if you submit by the original deadline of Thursday, Apr. 1 at 11:59pm, you will receive 14 points extra credit.

Just as you did in the homework assignment, create an interpreter in which a user can enter a formula. For each cell to which the formula is assigned, your interpreter should immediately evaluate the formula and assign the resulting value to the cell. It should also print the cell name and its assigned value. For this assignment you do not have to worry about re-evaluating any formulas that use the modified variable--you will do that in the next assignment. Here is a sample interaction with the interpreter:

>>> midterm1[1] = 85
midterm1[1] = 85.00
>>> midterm1[2] = 90
midterm1[2] = 90.00
>>> midterm2[1] = 100
midterm2[1] = 100.00
>>> midterm2[2] = 70
midterm2[2] = 70.00
>>> midtermAvg[i=1-2] = (midterm1[i] + midterm2[i]) / 2
midtermAvg[1] = 92.50
midtermAvg[2] = 80.00
>>> midterm1[1] = 95
midterm1[1] = 95.00

Notice that when I modified midterm1[1] at the end of the example the interpreter did not re-evaluated midtermAvg[1] even though midtermAvg[1] depends on midterm1[1]'s value.

Your interpreter should use your Antlr parser to parse each line of input and create an expression tree for the formula. The expression tree should then be assigned to the appropriate cell(s). I would recommend storing the column names (e.g., midterm1, midterm2, midtermAvg) in a hash table and associating an array of cells with each column name. You should not have to duplicate an expression tree for each cell to which it is assigned. Your team should figure out a way to re-use an expression tree for multiple rows in a column.

If your interpreter encounters an undefined cell while evaluating a formula, it should print an error message indicating that the cell is undefined and mark as undefined the cell to which the formula is assigned. For example:

>>> final[1] = final[2]
Error: final[2] is undefined
final[1] = undef
>>> final[1] = foo[1]
Error: foo[1] is undefined
final[1] = undef

Here is another example:

>>> midterm[1] = 50
midterm[1] = 50.00
>>> midterm[2] = 100
midterm[2] = 100.00
>>> comp[1] = min(midterm[1], midterm[2], midterm[3])
Error: midterm[3] is undefined
comp[1] = undef

Output of Your Interpreter

If you have a question about the output your interpreter should generate you can test your input with my test interpreter, which can be invoked by typing:

java -jar /home/bvz/cs365/project/project2/formula.jar

You will not be able to copy this jar file to your personal computer because it contains a manifest.txt file that access the /usr/share/java/antlr3.jar file on the system. Since that directory and file does not exist on your pc, the jar file will not work on your pc.

Submission Instructions

Place your code in a package named formula.
Your main class should be called interpreter.
Jar up your .g, .java, and .class files and include a manifest.txt file with the following lines:
```
Main-Class: formula.interpreter
Class-Path: /usr/share/java/antlr3.jar
```
Use the 365_submit script and type "p2".
