A context-free grammar is a formal grammar that consists of a set of production rules, where each rule defines how to rewrite a nonterminal symbol into a sequence of terminal and/or nonterminal symbols. The rules are applied in any context and do not depend on the surrounding symbols or context.
Context-free grammars are commonly used to describe the syntax of programming languages, natural languages, and other formal languages. They provide a concise and systematic way to generate valid sentences or expressions in these languages.
For example, consider a simple context-free grammar that describes the syntax of arithmetic expressions:
1. S -> E
2. E -> E + T
3. E -> E - T
4. E -> T
5. T -> T * F
6. T -> T / F
7. T -> F
8. F -> (E)
9. F -> num
In this grammar, S is the start symbol, and the rules define how to rewrite nonterminal symbols (S, E, T, F) into sequences of terminal symbols (num, +, -, *, /, (, )). The rules specify the various ways to combine numbers and arithmetic operators to form valid arithmetic expressions.
For example, using this grammar, the expression "2 + 3 * (4 - 1)" can be generated as follows:
S -> E (by applying rule 1)
E -> E + T (by applying rule 2)
E -> T + T (by applying rule 4)
T -> F + T (by applying rule 7)
F -> num + T (by applying rule 9)
F -> 2 + T (by applying rule 9)
F -> 2 + T * F (by applying rule 5)
F -> 2 + F * F (by applying rule 7)
F -> 2 + (E) * F (by applying rule 8)
F -> 2 + (E) * (E) (by applying rule 4)
F -> 2 + (T) * (E) (by applying rule 7)
F -> 2 + (F) * (E) (by applying rule 8)
F -> 2 + (4) * (E) (by applying rule 9)
F -> 2 + (4) * (T) (by applying rule 7)
F -> 2 + (4) * (F) (by applying rule 8)
F -> 2 + (4) * (1) (by applying rule 9)
This sequence of rule applications generates the desired arithmetic expression.
