Find an LL(2) grammar for the following language












1














The question asks to find both an LL(1) and an LL(2) grammar for the following language



{𝑎^𝑚 𝑏^𝑛 𝑐^𝑚+𝑛 | m,n ϵ N}



I have an LL(1) grammar like so



S --> aSc | T
T --> bTc | lambda


But what is the LL(2) grammar? I have this, but I don't feel confident in it



LL(2)
S --> aaScc | aSc | T
T --> bbTcc | bTc | $Lambda$

  • yes I'd say it is $LL(2)$ since (during parsing) it has to check $2$ tokens ahead to see if one should apply the rule $S to aaScc$ or the rule $S to aSc$, and it doesn't need backtracking. and honestly I don't see what could be the answer if it is not that grammar

  • maybe you could do something : the rule $S to a S c$ you can replace it by $S to a T c$, and the rule $T to b T c$ replaced by $T to bc$

The question doesn't make sense: the $n$ in $LL(n)$ is a property of a language not a grammar.



An $LL(n)$ language is one that can be parsed by an $LL$ parser that uses at most $n$ look-ahead tokens. So any $LL(1)$ language is $LL(2)$ (because a parser can just ignore the second look-ahead token).
