Explanation of Solution

Importance of predicates in an attribute grammar:

To rightfully understand a language, there has to be something unique other than context free grammar, attribute grammar come to rescue. It is a device that can be used to describe brief in structure of a programming language. This allows many languages to be convenient in description like giving type compatibility.

Predicate functions are associated with the grammar rules and state the static semantic rules of the language...

Refer to page 80 for problems on white-box testing. Instructions: • Perform control flow testing for the given program, drawing the control flow graph (CFG). • Design test cases to achieve statement, branch, and path coverage. • Justify the adequacy of your test cases using the CFG.

Refer to page 10 for problems on parsing. Instructions: • Design a top-down parser for the given grammar (e.g., recursive descent or LL(1)). • Compute the FIRST and FOLLOW sets and construct the parsing table if applicable. • Parse a sample input string and explain the derivation step-by-step.

Refer to page 20 for problems related to finite automata. Instructions: • Design a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) or nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) for the given language. • Minimize the DFA and show all steps, including state merging. • Verify that the automaton accepts the correct language by testing with sample strings.
