I’m trying to write a parser for a simple language: When I run it, I get the following error: I understand that this is happening because, if we imagine that the parser was built without an error, and then wrote parser.parse(‘foo’), both arithmetic_expr and boolean_expr would be “correct” derivations. Also, as you can see I’m using LALR which is a
How to check whether a sentence is correct (simple grammar check in Python)?
How to check whether a sentence is valid in Python? Examples: Answer Check out NLTK. They have support for grammars that you can use to parse your sentence. You can define a grammar, or use one that is provided, along with a context-free parser. If the sentence parses, then it has valid grammar; if not, then it doesn’t. These grammars
