  1. Plan for Lecture • Review code and trace output • Fix style and add indentation to output • Grammars and Regular Expressions • Exam Materials

  3. Languages and grammars • (formal) language: A set of words or symbols. • grammar: A description of a language that describes which sequences of symbols are allowed in that language. • describes language syntax (rules) but not semantics (meaning) • can be used to generate strings from a language, or to determine whether a given string belongs to a given language

  4. Backus-Naur (BNF) • Backus-Naur Form (BNF): A syntax for describing language grammars in terms of transformation rules, of the form: <symbol> ::= <expression> | <expression> ...| <expression> • terminal: A fundamental symbol of the language. • non-terminal: A high-level symbol describing language syntax, which can be transformed into other non-terminal or terminal symbol(s) based on the rules of the grammar. • developed by two Turing-award-winning computer scientists in 1960 to describe their new ALGOL programming language
