The parser now has an 'a' on its input stream and an 'F' as its stack top. The parsing table instructs it to apply rule (3) from the grammar and write the rule number 3 to the output stream. The stack becomes: [ a, +, F, ), $] The parser now has an 'a' on the input stream and an 'a' at its stack top. Because they are the same, it removes it ...
Yacc (Yet Another Compiler-Compiler) is a computer program for the Unix operating system developed by Stephen C. Johnson.It is a lookahead left-to-right rightmost derivation (LALR) parser generator, generating a LALR parser (the part of a compiler that tries to make syntactic sense of the source code) based on a formal grammar, written in a notation similar to Backus–Naur form (BNF).

State 2 in the example parse table is for the partially parsed rule r1: Sums → Sums + • Products. This shows how the parser got here, by seeing Sums then + while looking for a larger Sums. The • marker has advanced beyond the beginning of the rule. It also shows how the parser expects to eventually complete the rule, by next finding a ...
In formal language theory, an LL grammar is a context-free grammar that can be parsed by an LL parser, which parses the input from Left to right, and constructs a Leftmost derivation of the sentence (hence LL, compared with LR parser that constructs a rightmost derivation).
A predictive parser is a recursive descent parser that does not require backtracking. [3] Predictive parsing is possible only for the class of LL( k ) grammars, which are the context-free grammars for which there exists some positive integer k that allows a recursive descent parser to decide which production to use by examining only the next k ...
Note however that both parse trees can be obtained by both leftmost and rightmost derivations. For example, the last tree can be obtained with the leftmost derivation as follows: S → S + S (by rule 1 on the leftmost S) → S + S + S (by rule 1 on the leftmost S) → 1 + S + S (by rule 2 on the leftmost S) → 1 + 1 + S (by rule 2 on the ...
An LL parser is a type of parser that does top-down parsing by applying each production rule to the incoming symbols, working from the left-most symbol yielded on a production rule and then proceeding to the next production rule for each non-terminal symbol encountered. In this way the parsing starts on the Left of the result side (right side ...
A canonical LR parser (also called a LR(1) parser) is a type of bottom-up parsing algorithm used in computer science to analyze and process programming languages. It is based on the LR parsing technique, which stands for "left-to-right, rightmost derivation in reverse."
