Experiment 6:: AIM: WAP To Remove Left Recursion From The Grammar

The document describes removing left recursion from a grammar. It defines left recursion as when the leftmost variable of a production's right-hand side is the same as the left-hand side variable. It explains how to eliminate left recursion by converting the grammar to a right recursive grammar, replacing left recursive pairs of productions with a new nonterminal.

EXPERIMENT 6:

AIM: WAP to Remove Left Recursion from the Grammar.


THEORY:
Left Recursion-
 A production of grammar is said to have left recursion if the leftmost variable of its RHS
is same as variable of its LHS.
 A grammar containing a production having left recursion is called as Left Recursive
Grammar.
Elimination of Left Recursion
Left recursion is eliminated by converting the grammar into a right recursive grammar.If we
have the left-recursive pair of productions-
A → Aα / β
(Left Recursive Grammar)
where β does not begin with an A.
Then, we can eliminate left recursion by replacing the pair of productions with-
A → βA’
A’ → αA’ / ∈
(Right Recursive Grammar)
CODE:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n, j, l, i, k;
int length[10] = {};
string d, a, b, flag;
char c;
cout<<"Enter Parent Non-Terminal: ";
cin >> c;
d.push_back(c);
a += d + "\'->";
d += "->";
b += d;
cout<<"Enter productions: ";
cin >> n;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
cout<<"Enter Production ";
cout<<i + 1<<" :";
cin >> flag;
length[i] = flag.size();
d += flag;
if (i != n - 1)
{
d += "|";
}
}
cout<<"The Production Rule is: ";
cout<<d<<endl;
for (i = 0, k = 3; i < n; i++)
{
if (d[0] != d[k])
{
cout<<"Production: "<< i + 1;
cout<<" does not have left recursion.";
cout<<endl;
if (d[k] == '#')
{
b.push_back(d[0]);
b += "\'";
}
else
{
for (j = k; j < k + length[i]; j++)
{
b.push_back(d[j]);
}
k = j + 1;
b.push_back(d[0]);
b += "\'|";
}
}
else
{
cout<<"Production: "<< i + 1 ;
cout<< " has left recursion";
cout<< endl;
if (d[k] != '#')
{
for (l = k + 1; l < k + length[i]; l++)
{
a.push_back(d[l]);
}
k = l + 1;
a.push_back(d[0]);
a += "\'|";
}
}
}
a += "#";
cout << b << endl;
cout << a << endl;
return 0;
}
