Extending simple ANTLR grammar to support input variables

Question

I\'m still on my quest for a really simple language and I know now that there are none. So I\'m writing one myself using ANTLR3.

I found a really great example in t

Bah, took the time to implement this so might as well post it, even though I was beat to the punch :)

In the grammar below I have implemented the format of variable assigning you were looking to do.

grammar Exp;



eval returns [double value]
scope
{
    java.util.Hashtable varMap; 
}
@init
{
    $eval::varMap = new java.util.Hashtable();
}
:    exp=additionExp {$value = $exp.value;}
    | varList
;

additionExp returns [double value]
    :    m1=multiplyExp       {$value =  $m1.value;} 
         ( '+' m2=multiplyExp {$value += $m2.value;} 
         | '-' m2=multiplyExp {$value -= $m2.value;}
         )* 
    ;

multiplyExp returns [double value]
    :    a1=atomExp       {$value =  $a1.value;}
         ( '*' a2=atomExp {$value *= $a2.value;} 
         | '/' a2=atomExp {$value /= $a2.value;}
         )* 
    ;

atomExp returns [double value]
    :    n=Number                {$value = Double.parseDouble($n.text);}
    |    v=ID            {$value = $eval::varMap.get($v);}
    |    '(' exp=additionExp ')' {$value = $exp.value;}
    ;

varList
    :   
    OPEN_BRACE assignVar (COMMA assignVar)+ CLOSE_BRACE
    ;

assignVar
    :QUOTE var=ID n=Number QUOTE COLON { $eval::varMap.put($var, $n); }
    ;


Number
    :    ('0'..'9')+ ('.' ('0'..'9')+)?
    ;

WS  
    :   (' ' | '\t' | '\r'| '\n') {$channel=HIDDEN;}
    ;



fragment LETTER: LOWER | UPPER;
fragment LOWER: 'a'..'z';
fragment UPPER: 'A'..'Z';

OPEN_BRACE
    :   '{'
    ;

CLOSE_BRACE
    :   '}'
    ;

COLON   : ';';
COMMA   :   ',';

QUOTE   :   '"';

ID
: LETTER*;
