Question 1

What does recursive descent parsing primarily use to convert grammar?

  • Code Blocks
  • Functions
  • Classes

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how you would represent grammar rules in programming.

Question 2

True or False: Recursive descent parsers can handle left-recursive grammars without any transformations.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the implications of a function calling itself.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Construct a partial recursive descent parser for handling multiplication and addition in an expression.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how to apply functions recursively to handle operation precedence!

Question 2

Implement proper error handling in a recursive descent parser for a function that expects an identifier but receives an unexpected token.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Hint: Think about how error reporting can inform the user clearly!
