Recursive grammar

In computer science, a grammar is informally called a recursive grammar if it contains production rules that are recursive, meaning that expanding a non-terminal according to these rules can eventually lead to a string that includes the same non-terminal again. Otherwise it is called a non-recursive grammar. For example, a grammar for a context-free language is left recursive if there exists a non-terminal symbol A that can be put through the production rules to produce a string with A (as the leftmost symbol).All types of grammars in the Chomsky hierarchy can be recursive and it is recursion that allows the production of infinite sets of words.

Recursively Defined Sets - An Intro

Recursively defined sets are an important concept in mathematics, computer science, and other fields because they provide a framework for defining complex objects or structures in a simple, iterative way. By starting with a few basic objects and applying a set of rules repeatedly, we can g

Writing a PEG Parser For Fun and Profit

Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) are a relatively new formalism for describing grammars suitable for automatically generating efficient parsers. I've become interested in using a PEG-generated parser as an alternative to CPython's nearly 30 year old "pgen" parser generator. This poses so
