Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the following ambiguous grammar: E -> E + E | E * E | ID. Rewrite it to eliminate the ambiguity by defining clear precedence and associativity.

💡 Hint: Think about how you can separate addition and multiplication to clarify operations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider the expression 3 + 2 - 5 + 4. Discuss how precedence rules could change the evaluation order and provide a structured grammar for these operations.

💡 Hint: Review how traditional mathematics evaluates expressions and how you can reflect that in a grammar structure.
