I have a question regarding the implementation of the programming
portion of homework;

Does "any language" include OCaml? Stripping out support for
non-boolean expressions from Pierce's code is really straight-forward,
but this doesn't feel like my own work.

I'm trying to ensure that I understand the requirements for this
assignment :
An implementation of a parser and evaluator for the stripped down
(boolean & if-then-else only) language specified in chapter 3. If
should take expressions and either return the full evaluation or a
parsing error. And this can be in "any language" of our choosing.

Is it acceptable to require that nested conditions be formatted within
parentheses? I think this would ease parsing in Java to some extent.

Thanks
- Michael Long
