Question 1

What is the purpose of a parse tree?

  • To validate syntax
  • To represent the structure of derived strings
  • To generate errors

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the role of trees in organizing information.

Question 2

True or False: CFGs can be used for both programming languages and natural languages.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the different domains where syntax matters.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a language that consists of balanced parentheses and the empty string. Create a CFG to generate this language, then illustrate a derivation of the string '(()())'.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start with the empty symbol and systematically apply the grammar.

Question 2

How might error recovery differ between a simple syntax error and complex nested errors? Discuss how a CFG could aid in each scenario.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider examples of common syntax errors in code.
