|    First vs Predict and LL(*)    |
|    07 Jan 15 20:40:35    |
      From: slkpg4@gmail.com              The main question: what's the functional intent behind the First vs. Follow       sets, and the goal of the project I'm writing is a recursive descent       parser,        from what's described above, is my classification of LL(*) accurate?                     FIRST is the set of starting terminals derivable from a nonterminal.       FOLLOW is the same iff the nonterminal goes to null, so the FIRST that       follows the nonterminal. PREDICT is the combination of FIRST and FOLLOW.              PREDICT is used to predict which production to use based on the lookahead       terminal.              See http://slkpg.t15.org/llkparse.html for way more detail than you       probably want.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
