Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 3, Problem 15PS
Explanation of Solution
Consider the following BNF:
<program> -> begin <stmt_list> end
<stmt_list> -> <stmt>
| <stmt> ; <stmt_list>
<stmt> -> <var> = <expression>
<var>- A | B | C
<expression> - <var> + <var>
|<var> - <var>
|<var>
Conversion of the given BNF into the EBNF is as follow:
Enclosing an entity in curly braces indicates that it can be used indefinitely or left altogether as stated in section 3.3.2 of the book.
- So <stmt_list> can be defined as <stmt> or {<stmt>} use indefinitely after a <stmt>.
- Therefore, write the first two productions as:
<program> -> begin <stmt_list> end
<stmt_list> -> <stmt>{<stmt>}
- The next two productions are same as given since no EBNF rule applies to them...
