Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a simple arithmetic grammar with rules for expressions, create both the parse tree and AST for the input 'a + b * c'. Discuss the implications of each structure.

💡 Hint: Look at how operators are represented differently in each tree.

Challenge 2 Hard

Rewrite the ambiguous grammar for arithmetic expressions to resolve the ambiguity, using precedence and associativity rules.

💡 Hint: Consult grammar definitions you know.
