Give the leftmost and rightmost derivations corresponding to each of the derivation trees

1. Give the leftmost and rightmost derivations corresponding to each of the derivation trees given in Figure 3.3.

2. For each of the following context-free grammars, use set notation to define the language generated by the grammar.

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :

It seems like I was unable to access the image you referenced. However, I can guide you on how to perform the tasks you mentioned.

1. Leftmost and Rightmost Derivations

A leftmost derivation means you always replace the leftmost non-terminal first, and a rightmost derivation means you always replace the rightmost non-terminal. To find the derivations, examine the derivation tree and list out how the start symbol evolves by applying the production rules in each case.

2. Context-Free Grammars (CFGs) and Set Notation

To define the language of a CFG in set notation, you:

  • Identify the start symbol of the grammar.
  • List the production rules and deduce the structure of strings they generate.
  • Use set notation, for example: { w | w is a string derived from the start symbol S using the production rules }.

If you upload the image or provide more details, I can offer more specific guidance on these questions.
