Principles of Programming Project 2 Solution

You will be given a lexer that reads tokens from standard input. Your goal is to
write, in C or C++, a program that reads all tokens from standard input by calling
the lexer function getToken() and stores certain tokens in a linked list. After all
tokens are read, your program will print out the content of the linked list in a
specific order.
Implementation
Your implementation must conform to the CSE 340 projects guideline that the
lead TA, Mohsen, has written.
Lexer API
There are two functions that the lexer defines. These two functions compose the
application programming interface (API) of our lexer. These functions are declared
in lexer.h (and implemented in lexer.c). You will find the files lexer.h and lexer.c on
the submission site for project 2.
getToken() reads the next token from standard input and returns its type as a
token_type enum. If the token is of type ID, NUM, IF, WHILE, DO, THEN, or PRINT then
the actual token value is stored in the global variable current_token as a
null-terminated character array and the length of the string is stored in the
global variable token_length. There are two special token_type values,
END_OF_FILE, which is returned when the lexer encounters the end of standard

input and ERROR, which is returned when the lexer encounters an
unrecognized character in the input.
ungetToken() causes the next call to getToken() to return the last token read by
the previous call to getToken(). Note that this means the next call to getToken()
will not read from standard input.
There are four global variables declared in lexer.h that are set when getToken() is
called:
t_type the token type is stored here (note that this will be the same value
that was returned by getToken().
current_token the token value is stored in the array current_token. If the token is
of type ID, NUM, IF, WHILE, DO, THEN, or PRINT, then current_token contains the token
string. For all other token types, current_token contains the empty string.
token_length: the length of the string stored in current_token.
line: the current line number of the input when the token was read.
Requirements
Your program should use the provided lexer and read all tokens from the input by
repeatedly calling the getToken() function. Certain token strings and additional
data should be stored in a linked list. Specifically, if either of the following
conditions is true:
The token is of type NUM
The token is of type ID and the actual token is equal to one of the following
values: "cse340", "programming", or "language"
Then the token string and other information needs to be stored in a node of a
linked list. The information that needs to be stored about each of these tokens in
the linked list is the following:
Token type (from t_type)
Token value (from current_token)
Line number from the input where token was read (from line)
After reading all tokens from the input and storing information about tokens that
match the criteria, your program should go over the linked list and print the
information in reverse order from when that token was encountered. Each of
the tokens in the linked list must be printed to standard output on a separate line
with the following format:

<line <token_type_string <token value
Note that <token_type_string is the textual representation of the token type. In this
case, the possible values are ID and NUM.
Evaluation
Your submission will be graded on the automated test cases passing, however
simply passing all the test cases is not enough for full credit.
Your submission will be inspected by the TAs to give you feedback on potential
errors in your code. You are required to store the information in a linked list that
you write (either single or double linked list). The nodes in the linked list must be
allocated on the heap (using malloc or other similar functions like calloc), and the
allocated memory must be freed after printing the output. You are not allowed to
use the STL linked list libraries.
Note that this means you are not allowed to use the C++ new operator to allocate
memory (you must use the C memory allocation functions).
Example
Here is an example input with four lines:
cse340 < < + 123 *
456 programming
- cse 340 , LANGUAGE 100
. ; WHILE 200 IF
Here is your program’s expected output:
4 NUM 200
3 NUM 100
3 NUM 340
2 ID programming
2 NUM 456
1 NUM 123
1 ID cse340
