Problem 1
Important: Your code for this part should go in
buffer.py.Your job in this part is to implement the
currentandpop_firstmethods of theBufferclass.
currentshould return the current token of the current line we're on in theBufferinstance without removing it. If there are no more tokens in the current line, thencurrentshould move onto the next valid line, and return the first token of this line. If there are no more tokens left to return from the entire source (we've reached the end of all input lines), thencurrentshould returnNone(this logic is already provided for you in theexcept StopIterationblock).If we call
currentmultiple times in a row, we should get the same result since calls tocurrentwon't change what token we're returning.You may find
self.indexhelpful while implementing these functions, but you are not required to reference it in your solution.Hint: What instance attribute can we use to keep track of where we are in the current line?
Hint: If we've reached the end of the current line, then
self.more_on_line()will returnFalse. In that case, how do we "reset" our position to the beginning of the next line?
pop_firstshould return the current token of theBufferinstance, and move onto the next potential token (to be returned on the next call topop_first). If there are no more tokens left to return from the entire source (we've reached the end of all input lines), thenpop_firstshould returnNone.Hint: Do we need to update anything to move onto the next potential token?
要在 buffer.py 文件里面實現兩個函數: current 和 pop_first 函數
其中 current 函數有下面幾個要求:
- 返回的是當前行對應位置的 token, 如果沒有了才會移動到下一個有效的行, 然后返回那一行的第一個 token. 關於這個它已經提供了一個函數
self.more_on_line()來判斷當前行是否還有 token 我們沒有處理 - 如果整個文件已經讀取完了就返回
None. 這也也簡單, 我們知道當一個 iterator 我們讀取完的時候返回的是StopIteration - 在同一行內多次調用的時候, 結果應該一樣. **顯然我們這里可以用
self.index這個變量來控制.
至於 pop_first 函數比較簡單, 因為它調用一下 current 函數和增加 self.index 即可
class Buffer:
"""A Buffer provides a way of accessing a sequence of tokens across lines.
Its constructor takes an iterator, called "the source", that returns the
next line of tokens as a list each time it is queried, or None to indicate
the end of data.
The Buffer in effect concatenates the sequences returned from its source
and then supplies the items from them one at a time through its pop_first()
method, calling the source for more sequences of items only when needed.
In addition, Buffer provides a current method to look at the
next item to be supplied, without sequencing past it.
The __str__ method prints all tokens read so far, up to the end of the
current line, and marks the current token with >>.

Internal Representations
Problem 2
Important: Your code for this part should go in
scheme_reader.py.Your job in this part is to write the parsing functionality, which consists of two mutually recursive functions:
scheme_readandread_tail. Each function takes in a singlesrcparameter, which is aBufferinstance.
scheme_readremoves enough tokens fromsrcto form a single expression and returns that expression in the correct internal representation.read_tailexpects to read the rest of a list orPair, assuming the open parenthesis of that list orPairhas already been removed byscheme_read. It will read expressions (and thus remove tokens) until the matching closing parenthesis)is seen. This list of expressions is returned as a linked list ofPairinstances.In short,
scheme_readreturns the next single complete expression in the buffer andread_tailreturns the rest of a list orPairin the buffer. Both functions mutate the buffer, removing the tokens that have already been processed.The behavior of both functions depends on the first token currently in
src. They should be implemented as follows:
scheme_read:
- If the current token is the string
"nil", return thenilobject.- If the current token is
(, the expression is a pair or list. Callread_tailon the rest ofsrcand return its result.- If the current token is
', the rest of the buffer should be processed as aquoteexpression. You will implement this portion in the next problem.- If the next token is not a delimiter, then it must be a primitive expression (i.e. a number, boolean). Return it. Provided
- If none of the above cases apply, raise an error. Provided
read_tail:
- If there are no more tokens, then the list is missing a close parenthesis and we should raise an error. Provided
- If the token is
), then we've reached the end of the list or pair. Remove this token from the buffer and return thenilobject.- If none of the above cases apply, the next token is the operator in a combination. For example,
srccould contain+ 2 3). To parse this:
scheme_readthe next complete expression in the buffer.- Call
read_tailto read the rest of the combination until the matching closing parenthesis.- Return the results as a
Pairinstance, where the first element is the next complete expression from (1) and the second element is the rest of the combination from (2).
這一題的代碼和下一題的放在一起 😃
Problem 3
Important: Your code for this part should go in
scheme_reader.py.Your task in this problem is to complete the implementation of
scheme_readby allowing the function to now be able to handle quoted expressions.In Scheme, quoted expressions such as
'<expr>are equivalent to(quote <expr>). That means that we need to wrap the expression following'(which you can get by recursively callingscheme_read) into thequotespecial form, which is a Scheme list (as with all special forms).In our representation, a
Pairrepresents a Scheme list. You should therefore wrap the expression following'in aPair.For example,
'bagel, or["'", "bagel"]after being tokenized, should be represented asPair('quote', Pair('bagel', nil)).'(1 2)(or["'", "(", 1, 2, ")"]) should be represented asPair('quote', Pair(Pair(1, Pair(2, nil)), nil)).
這個要我們實現 Scheme 中的 ' 機制, 其實任務描述中的 which you can get by recursively calling scheme_read 已經告訴我們怎么解決這個問題的了, 新建一個 Pair, 它的第一個元素是 quote, 剩下的元素我們調用 scheme_reader 即可, 因為其實跟在 ' 后面的是 expression, 而 scheme_read 就是處理這個的.
