Presentation transcript:

Thinking about grammars Consider an expression language involving integers 1, 2 and 3 and the + operator These rules make the + operator left associative <e> ::= <int> | <e> + <int> <int> ::= 1 | 2 | 3 Note that using the “|” notation obscures the fact that there are really five rules <e> ::= <int> <e> ::= <e> + <int> <int> ::= 1 <int> ::= 2 <int> ::= 3

A graphical view Each rule is a little tree with a non-terminal as its root and children which are non-terminals or terminals Here’s how we we might visualize the grammar using ovals for non-terminals and strings as terminals <e> ::= <int> <e> ::= <e>+<int> <int> ::= 1 <int> ::= 2 <int> ::= 3 e + int 1 2 3

Generating a string & parse tree Create a parse tree P consisting of the node Repeat until P has no non-terminals in a leaf position Select a leaf node L that is a non-terminal Select a grammar tree T that has the same non-terminal as its root and make a copy of it Replace the leaf L in P with the copy of T e

Here’s an example showing the parse tree for 1+2+3 1 + 2 + 3 Here’s an example showing the parse tree for 1+2+3 e + int 1 2 3 e + int 1 2 3 the grammar rules the parse tree

1 + 2 + 3 Here’s an example showing the derivation of 1+2+3 e e + int
