Key Concepts

Language of a Grammar

The language of a grammar is the set of all strings consisting solely of terminal symbols that can be derived from the start symbol using the production rules of the grammar. This set is often specified using set notation to formally denote all valid strings generated by the grammar.

Context-Free Grammar (CFG)

A context-free grammar is a formal grammar in which every production rule replaces a single nonterminal symbol with a string of nonterminal and/or terminal symbols. CFGs are widely used in computer science, particularly in parsing and programming language design, to describe and generate languages.

Derivation

Derivation is the procedure of generating strings from the start symbol of a grammar by repeatedly applying production rules. It serves as the basis for constructing the strings that belong to the language defined by the grammar.

Leftmost Derivation

In a leftmost derivation, at each step the leftmost nonterminal in the current string is the one that is replaced using a production rule. This systematic approach is closely related to top-down parsing techniques and helps to construct a unique derivation process leading to a parse tree.

Rightmost Derivation

A rightmost derivation involves replacing the rightmost nonterminal in the current string at each derivation step. This method is particularly useful in bottom-up parsing, and it too results in an equivalent parse tree for context-free grammars.

Derivation Tree (Parse Tree)

A derivation tree, or parse tree, is a graphical representation that shows the structure of the derivation process of a string from the grammar's start symbol. It depicts the hierarchical relationship of the production rules applied, clearly visualizing how the string is generated.
