Syntax and Semantics

Introduction to NLP
• Natural Language Processing (NLP) enables
machines to process human languages.
• Grammar is essential to build systems that
parse sentences and identify Parts of Speech
(POS).
• Understanding grammar helps in knowledge
representation.
Components of a Language
• Lexicon: Vocabulary of the language.
• Categorization: Grouping words (e.g., Nouns,
Verbs).
• Grammar Rules: Define sentence structures.
Parsing and Syntactic Tree
• Parsing applies grammar rules to analyze a
sentence's structure.
• Syntactic trees visually represent sentence
structures using nodes and categories.
• Example: 'The large cat eats the small rat' can
be broken down into phrases.
Ambiguity in Language
• Lexical Ambiguity: Words with multiple
meanings (e.g., 'glasses' can mean spectacles
or drinking glasses).
• Structural Ambiguity: Sentences with multiple
interpretations (e.g., 'I saw the boy with the
telescope').
Control and Conditional
Statements in C
Introduction to Conditional
Statements
• Conditional statements evaluate a condition
as true or false.
• They control the program's flow and are also
called control statements.
Types of Conditional Statements
• Simple if Statement
• If-Else Statement
• Nested If-Else Statement
• Else If Ladder
Loops in C
• Loops are constructs that repeat code based
on conditions.
• Types of Loops:
• - While Loop
• - Do-While Loop
• - For Loop
Repetition Structures in
Programming
Introduction to Repetition
Structures
• Repetition structures simplify repeated
operations.
• Types include Condition-Controlled and Count-
Controlled loops.
Condition-Controlled Loops
• While Loop: Repeats as long as the condition
is true.
• Do-While Loop: Executes at least once before
evaluating the condition.
Count-Controlled Loops
• For Loop: Iterates a specific number of times.
• Includes Initialization, Condition, and
Increment/Decrement steps.
Common Mistakes in Loops
• Infinite Loops: No proper exit condition.
• Neglecting Initialization or Updates of loop
variables.
• Misplacing statements inside the loop.
