I don't know what your grammar is supposed to be doing, but from the looks of
it, there's a lot of confusion and unfortunately I wouldn't say that you're
"almost done".
Are you using ANTLR because your course asks you to specifically use it and you
have some examples and explanations of how to use it, or does your course not
specify any particular tool and you're just using ANTLR as a tool to understand
grammars? I ask this because of your INTEGER rule. The way you have defined it
is not optimal for ANTLR and makes me think you grabbed it from a grammar that
was not intended for use with ANTLR.
Your token for DIGIT and INTEGER will actually match the same input. Can you
take a look at it and explain why?
The general problem I see is that you seem to be confused about what should be
lexer rules and what should be parser rules, and ANTLR makes it a little
confusing (although convenient) by allowing both in a single file. That bit of
confusion is also what makes me suspect you've been looking at some grammars
that were not designed for ANTLR.
Do you not have access to a professor, TA, or even a book to gain an
understanding of the basics?

Subject: [antlr-interest] Can never be matched
I'm almost done with a lesson grammar but I ran into a problem I get an
error referencing the TOKEN RULE, which is on Line 17 (TOKEN : ID) It also
references Line 20, where there is a blank before SEPERATOR.
The error reads: error (line)20.1: groupassign.g(file name) (line)17:8: The
following alternatives can never be matched: 2,3
Does anyone know what that error code means?
Code is below:
grammar groupassign;
@header{
import java.util.HashMap;
}
@members{
HashMap memory = new HashMap();
}
prog : WS
| COMMENT
| TOKEN;
WS : (' '|'\t'|'\n'|'\r\n')+{skip();};
COMMENT : '//'
{~('\n'|'\r'|'\r\n'))*
('\n'|'\r'|'\r\n'('\n')?)
{$setType(Token.SKIP};
newline();};
TOKEN : ID
| KEYWORD
| LITERAL
| SEPERATOR
| OPERATOR;
ID : (LETTER| DIGIT) (LETTER)*;
LETTER : ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z')+;
DIGIT : ('0'..'9')+;
KEYWORD :
('boolean'|'else'|'if'|'int'|'main'|'void'|'while'|'print');
LITERAL : BOOLEAN
| INTEGER;
INTEGER : DIGIT
| INTEGER DIGIT;
SEPERATOR : ('('|')'|'{'|'}'|';'|',');
BOOLEAN : ('true'|'false');
OPERATOR :
('='|'+'|'-'|'*'|'/'|'<'|'<='|'>'|'>='|'=='|'!='|'&&'|'||'|'!');
