PCPRL-L2T1 Programming Languages Syntax & Parsing

The source material is an educational document from the College of Engineering and Technology Education at Holy Trinity College, focusing on the topic of Programming Languages Syntax and Parsing. It begins by defining syntax as the precise description of grammatically correct programs, introducing the three levels: lexical, concrete, and abstract syntax. The bulk of the material explores grammars as a metalanguage for defining syntax, specifically utilizing Backus-Naur Form (BNF). Key concepts such as derivations, parse trees, and how grammars can define operator associativity and precedence are thoroughly explained with examples, concluding with a discussion on ambiguous grammars and the classic problem of the dangling else ambiguity.
