The first programming project involves writing a program that parses, using recursive descent, a GUI definition language defined in an input file and generates the GUI that it defines. The grammar for this language is defined below:gui ::=Window STRING ( NUMBER , NUMBER ) layout widgets End .layout ::=Layout layout_type :layout_type ::=Flow |Grid ( NUMBER , NUMBER [, NUMBER , NUMBER] )widgets ::=widget widgets |widgetwidget ::=Button STRING ; |Group radio_buttons End ; |Label STRING ; |Panel layout widgets End ; |Textfield NUMBER ;radio_buttons ::=radio_button radio_buttons |radio_buttonradio_button ::=Radio STRING ;In the above grammar, the red symbols are nonterminals, the blue symbols are tokens and the blackpunctuation symbols are BNF metasymbols. Among the tokens those in title case are keywords. Thecharacter literals are punctuation tokens.Below is an explanation of the meaning of some of the symbols in the above productions that shouldhelp you understand the actions that are to be performed when each of the productions is parsed: In the window production the string is the name that is to appear in the top border of thewindow and the two numbers are the width and height of the window In the production for layout_type that define the grid layout, the first two numbers representthe number of rows and columns, and the optional next two the horizontal and vertical gaps In the production for widget that defines a button, the string is the name of the button In the production for widget that defines a label, the string is text that is to be placed in the label In the production for widget that defines a text field, the number is the width of the text field In the production for radio_button, the string is the label of the buttonYou parser should properly handle the fact that panels can be nested in other panels. Recursive productions must be implemented using recursion. Syntactically incorrect input files should detect andreport the first error.2Below is an example of an input file:Window Calculator (200, 200) Layout Flow:Textfield 20;Panel Layout Grid(4, 3, 5, 5):Button 7;Button 8;Button 9;Button 4;Button 5;Button 6;Button 1;Button 2;Button 3;Label ;Button 0;End;End.The above input file should produce the GUI shown below:Deliverables:Deliverables for this project include the following:1. Source code correctly implementing all required functionality.2. Word or PDF file providing screen shots of successfully compiling and executing the program.3. Description of the process and lesson learned while completing this project (to be included in the Word or PDF document).4. A test plan that contains test cases that include both layout types, all widgets and nested panels. For each test case, the input file should be shown together with the resulting
