Demonstration of Ambiguity in Context-Free Grammars
To demonstrate and understand ambiguity in Context-Free Grammars (CFGs) by:
- Visualizing multiple derivations for the same input string using different ambiguous grammars
- Comparing different parse trees that can be generated from ambiguous grammars
- Understanding the concept of leftmost derivations and how they can differ for the same string
- Exploring practical examples of ambiguity including arithmetic expressions, string concatenation, and the classic if-then-else problem
- Analyzing the implications of ambiguity in compiler design and programming language parsing
