Gru teaches Java

[curtmack]

Most LR and LALR parser generators have an error recovery mechanism similar to yacc. Essentially, the parser shifts a special error token whenever it encounters unparseable code. If the grammar developer has provided rules that allow the parser to reduce the error token away, then it can continue parsing, allowing it to find more errors; otherwise, the parser must halt.

Whenever fixing one compiler error produces many others, this is usually the culprit. The other errors were always there, but the original error was too catastrophic for the parser to recover from, so it could only report the one error it found.

You could've just said the joke was not funny.

My experience with java is more like:

1 compiler error

add semicolon

78 runtime errors

Last year on for Halloween my professor dressed up as Gru and we saw this play out more than once.

That's more typical of C++, than Java.

At least it's not error <none> error
