Review: FIRST and FOLLOW Sets

3

FIRST(α):

For some α ∈ ( T ∪ NT ∪ EOF ∪ ε)*, define FIRST (α) as the set
of tokens that appear as the first symbol in some string that derives
from α.

That is, x ∈ FIRST(α) iff α ⇒∗ xγ for some γ

T: terminals NT: non-terminals

First Set Example

4

Start ::= S eof
S ::= a S b | ε FIRST(ε) =

{a}

{ε}

{a, ε}

S can be rewritten as the following:
ab
aaabbb
aabb
ε

FIRST(S) =

aSb can be rewritten as the following:
ab
aabb

FIRST(aSb) =

Computing FIRST Sets

5

• FIRST(A) includes FIRST(B1) – ε
• FIRST(A) includes FIRST(B2) – ε if B1 can be rewritten as ε
• FIRST(A) includes FIRST(B3) – ε if both B1 and B2 can derive ε
• …
• FIRST(A) includes FIRST(Bm) – ε if B1B2… Bm-1 can derive ε

For a production A → B1B2 … Bk :

FIRST(A) includes FIRST(B1) … FIRST(Bm) excluding ε iff
ε ∈ FIRST(B1), FIRST(B2), FIRST(B3), …, FIRST(Bm-1)

FIRST(A) includes ε iff
ε ∈ FIRST(B1), FIRST(B2), FIRST(B3), …, FIRST(Bk)

First Set Construction

6

• For each X as a terminal, then FIRST(X) is {X}
• If X ::= ε, then ε ∈ FIRST(X)
• For each X as a non-terminal, initialize FIRST(X) to ∅ 


Build FIRST(X) for all grammar symbols X:

add a to FIRST(X) if a ∈ FIRST(Y1) 

add a to FIRST(X) if a ∈ FIRST(Yi) and ε ∈ FIRST(Yj)
for all 1 ≤ j ≤ i-1 and i ≥ 2
add ε to FIRST(X) if ε ∈ FIRST(Yi) for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k

End iterate

• Iterate until no more terminals or ε can be added to any FIRST(X):
For each rule in the grammar of the form X ::= Y1Y2…Yk

EndFor

FOLLOW Sets

25

FOLLOW(A):

For A ∈ NT , define FOLLOW(A) as the set of tokens that can
occur immediately after A in a valid sentential form.

FOLLOW set is defined over the set of non-terminal symbols, NT.

Back to Our Example

26

Start ::= S eof
S ::= a S b |
ε

FOLLOW(S) = { } eof , b

Start ⇒ S eof ⇒ a S b eof ⇒ a b eof

One possible derivation process from the start symbol:

FIRST and FOLLOW Sets

27

FOLLOW(A):

For A ∈ NT , define FOLLOW(A) as the set of tokens that can
occur immediately after A in a valid sentential form.

FOLLOW set is defined over the set of non-terminal symbols (NT)

Follow Set Construction

28

Given a rule p in the grammar:

A → B1B2… Bi Bi+1…Bk

If Bi is a non-terminal, FOLLOW(Bi) includes

• FIRST(Bi+1…Bk) – {ε} U FOLLOW(A), if ε ∈ FIRST(Bi+1…Bk)
• FIRST(Bi+1…Bk) otherwise

Relationship between FOLLOW sets and FIRST sets of different symbols

Follow Set Construction

29

• Place EOF in FOLLOW()
• For each X as a non-terminal, initialize FOLLOW(X) to ∅ 


Iterate until no more terminals can be added to any FOLLOW(X):
For each rule p in the grammar
If p is of the form A ::= αBβ, then 

if ε ∈ FIRST(β)

Place {FIRST(β) – ε, FOLLOW(A)} in FOLLOW(B)
else

Place {FIRST(β)} in FOLLOW(B)
If p is of the form A ::= αB, then 

Place FOLLOW(A) in FOLLOW(B) 

End iterate

Parentheses grammar PREDICT Sets

Is this grammar LL(1)?

Since only Rule 2 and Rule 3 correspond to the same non-terminal, and
PREDICT(Rule 2) and PREDICT(Rule 3) are disjoint, the grammar is LL(1).

Review: Table Driven LL(1) Parsing

Input: a string w and a parsing table M for G
push eof
push Start Symbol
token ← next_token()

if X is a terminal then
if X == token then
pop X
token ← next_token()

Recursive Descent Parsing

82

• Each non-terminal has an associated parsing procedure that can
recognize any sequence of tokens generated by that non-terminal

• There is a main routine to initialize all globals (e.g:the token variable
in previous code example) and call the start symbol. On return, check
whether token==EOF, and whether errors occurred.

• Within a parsing procedure, both non-terminals and terminals can
be matched:
➡ Non-terminal A: call procedure for A
➡ Token t: compare t with current input token; 


if matched, consume input, otherwise, ERROR
• Parsing procedure may contain code that performs some useful

“computations” (syntax directed translation)
