.. however, Jarrod's grammar allows for input to end with `expression '.'`,
which could be "123." (an INTEGER followed by a DOT). This would be input
the lexer would trip over.
A possible fix could look like:
INTEGER
: DIGIT+ ({input.LA(1)=='.' && input.LA(2)>='0' && input.LA(2)>='9'}?=>
'.' DIGIT+ {$type=FLOAT;})?
;
I.e., only match a '.' if the character after the '.' is a digit.
Regards,
Bart.
