4 (a) Define CFG. Write CFG for the following languages
L={0 n |n ?1}
L={string /of a 's and b's with equal number grammer is ambigues
(6 marks)
4 (b) What is an ambiguous grammar? Show that the following grammar is ambiguous.
E -+E+E E-E I E *E I E/E | (E) | a where whereE is the start symbol. Find the unambiguous grammar.
(10 marks)
4 (c) Discu ss the applications of CFG(4 marks) 5 (a) Define PDA. Construct PDA that accepts the language L={wwR|w?(a+b+ and WR is the reversal of {w} .write ID's for the string aaabbbaa.(10 marks) 5 (b) Convert the following CFG to PDA and give the procedure for the same. S ?aABB|aAA
A?ABB|a
B ?bBB|A
C ??
(10 marks)
6 (a) consider the following CFG
S ?aABB|aAA
A ?aBB|a
B ?bBB|A
C ? a
Shat are useless symbois?(ii) Eliminate e-productions unit productions and useless productions from the grammar.
