14-03-2021 Lecture Notes Operator Precedence Parser

The document discusses operator precedence parsing (bottom-up parsing) and provides two examples. It explains that operator grammars must follow two rules: 1) no two adjacent non-terminals and 2) no null productions. The first example converts a context-free grammar to an operator grammar and shows the operator precedence table and parsing of the string "Id + id * id $". The second example provides another operator grammar and parses the string "a + b * c * d $".

Operator precedence parser (Bottom-Up parsing)

Can handle some of ambiguous grammars

Operator Grammar:

1) No two adjacent Non Terminals


2) No Null production

Example:

E EAE | id

A + | *

We need to convert this grammar into operator grammar

E E+E | E*E |id -------------- (Operator Grammar)

Example:

SSAS | a

A bSb |b

We need to convert this grammar into operator grammar

S SbSbS | SbS | a -------------------------------- (operator grammar)

ab = a*b (Not Equal)

Implementation Example:

E E+E | E*E | id

Find all terminals from the operator grammar and build operator relational table.

Id + * $

Id -- > > >

+ < > < >

* < > > >

$ < < < Accept


Rules for filling table:

1) Id has highest precedence.


2) Id van not be compared with any other id.
3) $ has least precedence.
4) When $ is compared with $ that means you are at accepting state.
5) If two same operators are compared then we need to check associativity of that operator.

Rules for Parsing Input String:

If > (Greater than) symbol found then pop (Reduce).

If< (Less Than) Symbol found then push (Shift).

Stack Input String Actions

$ Id + id * id $ Shift id

$ id + id * id $ Reduce E id

$E + id * id $ Shift +

$E+ Id * id $ Shift id

$ E + id *id $ Reduce E id

$E+E *id $ Shift *

$E+E* Id $ Shift id

$ E + E * id $ Reduce E id

$E+E*E $ Reduce E  E*E

$E+E $ Reduce E E+E

$E $ Accept

When top of stack is $ and Input pointer is also on $ then we can conclude the string is parsed
successfully.
Example no 2:

E E+T | T

T T*V | V

V a| b | c | d

We need to identify terminals in the above operator grammar.

+ * A B C D $

+ > < < < < < >

* > > < < < < >

A > > -- -- -- -- >

B > > -- -- -- -- >

C > > -- -- -- -- >

D > > -- -- -- -- >

$ < < < < < < Accept

Input string which needs to be parsed is a + b * c * d $

Stack Input String Actions

$ a+b*c*d$ Shift a

$a +b*c*d$ Reduce Va

$V +b*c*d$ Shift +

$V+ b*c*d$ Shift b


$V+b *c * d $ Reduce V b

$V+V *c * d $ Shift *

$V+V* c*d$ Shift c

$V+V*c *d $ Reduce Vc

$V+V*V *d $ Reduce T V

$V+V*T *d $ Reduce ET

$V+V*E *d $

The given string can not be parsed completely.
