Abstract

In this paper we present a tool to assist in teaching top-down and bottom-up analysis algorithms. The tool provides simulation for the following analysis algorithms: LL, SLR, LALR and LR. During the simulation the student can simultaneously see the pending input, the analysis stack and tables, the generated output and the parse tree.

On different LL and LR parsers used in LLLR parsing

The LLLR parser can be constructed for any LR grammar.The LLLR parser produces the left parse of the input string without backtracking.The canonical LL or the LALL parser can be used as the backbone parser.Small canonical or LALR parsers are used for LL ...
Deterministic parsing of ambiguous grammars

Methods of describing the syntax of programming languages in ways that are more flexible and natural than conventional BNF descriptions are considered. These methods involve the use of ambiguous context-free grammars together with rules to resolve ...
