A predictive parser is characterized by its ability to choose the production to apply solely on the basis of the next input symbol and the current nonterminal being processed.
Table-Driven LL(1) Parsing uses what a stack for what? a
[1] a stack to store the symbols of the right hand side of the productions in right-to-left order so that the leftmost symbol is on the top of the stack.
Table-Driven LL(1) Parsing uses what a parsing table for what? a
A bottom-up parse starts with the string of terminals itself and builds from the leaves upward, working backwards to the start symbol by applying the productions in reverse.
Bottom-up parsing algorithms are ___ powerful than top-down methods
the stack [1] cannot eventually be reduced to the left-hand side of any production and [2] any further shift action would be futile and the input cannot form a valid sentence.
