Hi there!

Does anyone know how to implement optionality into a bison script?
I'm creating a command that's called "circle" with the arguments
x_position, y_position, radius and color. But i want color to be an
optional argumend. My current code looks like this

| circle expression expression expression expression {circle();}

But when i execute the code i can't leave out the last expression,
otherwise there would be a parse error. 

Can somebody help me please?
