5.2.2 - Example Derivation and Language Generation

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Define the term 'Derivation' in the context of CFGs.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What do you do starting from the initial symbol?

Question 2

Easy

What is a Parse Tree?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the structure of a tree reflects derivation steps.

Question 1

What is the main purpose of a derivation in a CFG?

  • To visualize strings
  • To generate terminal strings
  • To define non-terminals

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what we are trying to achieve from the starting point.

Question 2

True or False: A parse tree only shows terminal symbols.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what each node of the tree represents.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Develop a complete CFG for a simple programming language that allows basic arithmetic expressions. Derive the string (2 + 3) * (4 - 1) and create its parse tree.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on breaking the expression down into terms and operations.

Question 2

Analyze why parse trees are important for syntax checking in compiler design. Provide examples of scenarios where derivation errors could affect program execution.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how structure relates to error detection in code.
