After downloading, run make in the downloaded directory.

After running it, you will find the executable 'language_generator.out'. To run it, execute the command ./language_generator.out.

It will ask for the path of the input file. An example of a valid input is: example.txt.

You will then see the language generated.

Each printed step will show you the new strings added to the language in that specific step.

The input file should have three different lines, each line should be as follows:

1. Base case: If you want to input the null character, you should write it as "#!NULL!#" (without the quotations). If you want to specify multiple base cases, you should separate each by a comma (i.e. a,b) and no spaces.

2. Recursive step rules: Here you should input all the rules, separated by a comma and no spaces. The following list of characters is reserved for representations of the strings in the language:

   • u
   • v
   • w
   • x
   • y
   • z

   All other characters will specify the specific character inputted. For example the rule: uva will be treated as:

   • u: Will represent any string inside the language.
   • v: Will represent any string inside the language (can be different than 'u').
   • a: Will represent the character 'a'.

   So a valid input line for these rules would be: uva,au,uavb,uau

3. Step number: Here you should enter a single int which will specify the amount of recursive steps to execute.

   For example: 3

There is also an example of this format in the example.txt file in the project directory.
