A Grammar for a Simple Assignment Statements

GIVEN:

<assign> → <id> = <expr>

<id> → A | B | C

<expr> → <id > + <expr>

| <id > * <expr>

| (<expr>)

| <id>

QUESTIONS:

  1. Write the statement A = (A + B) * C using the grammar above.

<assign> → <id> = <expr>

→ A = <expr>

→ A = <id > * <expr>

→ A = C * <expr>

→ A = C * (<expr>)

→ A = C * (<id> + <expr>)

→ A = C * (A + <expr>)

→ A = C * (A + <id>)

→ A = C * (A + B) //not sure if this is ok (same here)

 

  1. Write the statement A = A + (B * C) using the grammar above.

<assign> -> <id> = <expr>

                           ->  A = <expr>

                           ->  A = <id> + <expr>

  ->  A = A + <expr>

                           -> A = A + (<expr>)

                           -> A = A + (<id> * <expr>)

                           -> A = A + (B * <expr>)

    -> A = A + (B * <id>)

                           -> A = A + (B * C)

  1. Is the given grammar ambiguous? 
  2. If YES → modified version that will make it unambiguous.
  3. If NO → identify at least 3 reasons why the grammar is NOT ambiguous.
