CS606 Assignment 2 Solution Spring 2021 – 100% Correct and Complete Solution Guideline with Code. Student is asked to Convert a Given CFG into First Set and Follow Set . Here is the complete C++ Program to calculate First and Follow sets of given CFG grammar.
Question:
Consider the following CFG.
S à AB
A à DG | ε
B à *AB | ε
D à id | ( S
G à +DG | ε
a) Find First sets for above grammar. [10 Marks]
b) Find Follow sets for above grammar. [10 Marks]
Question:
Consider the following CFG.
- S -> AB
- A ->DG | ε
- B ->*AB | ε
- D ->id | ( S
- G -> +DG | ε
a) Find First sets for above grammar. [10 Marks] (watch the video and implement the code
Store the grammar on a 2D character array production
. findfirst
function is for calculating the first of any non terminal. Calculation of first
falls under two broad cases :
- If the first symbol in the R.H.S of the production is a Terminal then it can directly be included in the first set.
- If the first symbol in the R.H.S of the production is a Non-Terminal then call the findfirst function again on that Non-Terminal. To handle these cases like Recursion is the best possible solution. Here again, if the First of the new Non-Terminal contains an epsilon then we have to move to the next symbol of the original production which can again be a Terminal or a Non-Terminal.
b) Find Follow sets for above grammar. [10 Marks]
