Free Languages (CFL) • The pumping lemma showed there are languages that are not regular – There are many classes “larger” than that of regular languages – One of these classes are called “Context Free” languages • Described by Context-Free Grammars (CFG) – Why named context-...
Context-Free Languages A language that is defined by some CFG is called a context-free language. There are CFL’s that are not regular languages, such as the example just given. But not all languages are CFL’s. Intuitively: CFL’s can count two things, not three. BNF Notation Grammars ...
Block structure was introduced into computerprogramming languagesby theAlgolproject (1957–1960),which, as a consequence, also featured a context-free grammar to describe the resulting Algol syntax. This became a standard feature of computer languages, and the notation for grammars used in concrete d...
be generated by CFGs. In Chapter 16, we will see that there is some non-regular language that cannot be generated by any CFG. Thus, the set of languages generated by CFGs is properly larger than the set of regular languages, but properly smaller than the set of all possible languages....
Some CFL can be generated only by ambiguous grammars. Such languages are called inherently ambiguous.Chomsky Normal FormDefinition A CFG is in Chomsky normal form if every rule is of the formA→BCA→a(4)(5)(4)A→BC(5)A→awhere aa is any terminal and AA, BB, and C are any ...
