Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a grammar with ambiguous rules, discuss how you would approach parsing using both strategies. What are the challenges?

💡 Hint: Consider how ambiguity affects understandability in each approach.

Challenge 2 Hard

Construct an example grammar that illustrates both Left Recursion and a Non-Left Recursion strategy in Top-Down and Bottom-Up parsing respectively.

💡 Hint: Look for patterns in how the grammar expands and how tokens are managed.
