   Page 1 of that pdf uses notation:   
      
      k:alpha beta   
      
   without defining what : means.  My first guess is that it   
   takes the first k elements of an A^* if they exist; however,   
   that's not clear.  Mr. Choe probably defines : in his   
   class room and say no need to repeat it on the .pdf.

   Page 5 of that pdf says G (I guess a grammar)   
   is not LL(k) if G is left-recursive.  so, I guess the   
   algorithm does not work on left-recursive grammars.
