P -> {D ; C}

D -> d; D| d

C -> c; C | c

a) Is the grammar LL(1)? Explain your answer.

b) Is the grammar SLR(1)? Explain your answer.

c) Is the grammar LR(1)? Explain your answer.

d) Is the grammar LALR? Explain your answer.

As for my answers I actually got no for them all... so I'm thinking I did something wrong

Here is my explanation.

a) It is not LL(1) because it is not left factored.

b) It is not SLR, because of the transition diagram

item 2 ( which is... ) D-> d . ; D

D-> d .

We need to consult the follow set, Follow(D) = ;

Therefore this is not SLR

c) It is not LR(1) because of...

item 1

P-> {D.;C} , $

D-> .d;D , ;

D-> .d , ;

item 2

D-> d.; D , ;

D-> d. , ;

item 3

D-> d; . D , ;

D-> .d;D , ;

D-> .d , ;

Since item 2 goes to item 3 with ;, AND "D-> d."'s (in item 2) look ahead token is also ;. this causes a reduce to shift conflict, therefore this grammar is not LR(1)

d) This grammar is not LALR because it is not LR(1)

Thanks for your help!
