Transcribed Image Text:**Transform the Following Grammar to a Grammar Without Left-Recursive Rules**
Given Grammar:
1. \( S \to A \mid B \)
2. \( A \to AAA \mid a \mid B \)
3. \( B \to BBb \mid b \)
To convert the given grammar to a form without left recursion, the direct left recursion in the rules for \( A \) and \( B \) must be resolved by introducing new non-terminal symbols.
### Explanation of the Original Grammar
The original grammar consists of three production rules.
- The start symbol is \( S \), which can be replaced with either \( A \) or \( B \).
- The non-terminal \( A \) includes a left-recursive rule \( A \to AAA \), as well as options to replace with \( a \) or \( B \).
- The non-terminal \( B \) contains another left-recursive rule \( B \to BBb \), and can also resolve to \( b \).
### Steps to Remove Left Recursion
For each non-terminal with left recursion, introduce a new non-terminal:
1. **Convert \( A \):**
- Identify left-recursive and non-left-recursive parts:
- Left-recursive: \( AAA \)
- Non-left-recursive: \( a \), \( B \)
- Introduce \( A' \) to handle left recursion:
- Convert \( A \) to: \( A \to aA' \mid BA' \)
- Define \( A' \) with recursive production: \( A' \to AA' \mid \epsilon \)
2. **Convert \( B \):**
- Identify left-recursive and non-left-recursive parts:
- Left-recursive: \( BBb \)
- Non-left-recursive: \( b \)
- Introduce \( B' \) for left recursion:
- Convert \( B \) to: \( B \to bB' \)
- Define \( B' \) with recursion: \( B' \to BbB' \mid \epsilon \)
The resulting grammar will have no left recursion:
1. \( S \to A \mid B \)
2. \( A \to aA' \mid BA' \)
3. \( A' \to AA' \mid \epsilon \)
4. \( B \to bB' \)
5. \(
