Question

Consider a CFL for Java if-statements:
G = ({<STMT>, <IF-THEN>, <IF-THEN-ELSE>}, {if, condition, else, (, ), stmt}, R, <STMT>)
where R is:
<STMT> → stmt | <IF-THEN> | <IF-THEN-ELSE>
<IF-THEN> → if ( condition ) <STMT>
<IF-THEN-ELSE> → if ( condition ) <STMT> else <STMT>
Show that G is ambiguous and give a different, unambiguous grammar for the same language that corresponds to Java semantics.
