A Simple Object-Oriented Language

The program starts in a function named "MAIN".

program:
    <definition>*

definition:
    <class-definition>
|   <function-definition>

class-definition:
    CLASS <name> [ : <super-class-name> ]
      <class-statement>*
    End Class

class-statement:
    IVARS <id> [ , <id> ]*
|   CVARS <id> [ , <id> ]*
|   <method-definition>
|   <cmethod-definition>

method-definition:
    METHOD '[' THIS <selector> [ <arg> [ <selector> <arg> ]* ] ']'
      <statement>*
    END METHOD

cmethod-definition:
    CMETHOD '[' THIS <selector> [ <arg> [ <selector> <arg> ]* ] ']'
      <statement>*
    END CMETHOD

function-definition:
    FUNCTION <name> ( [ <arg> [ , <arg> ]* ] )

    END FUNCTION

    END WHILE

return-statement:
    RETURN <expression>
