Group A

Attempt any TWO question.(2 × 10 = 20)

  1. 1.

    Discuss about Directed Acyclic Graph with an example. Represent the expression A = (B + C) – (D – E) using 3AC, Quadruple and Triple.

  2. 2.

    Create the LR(1) parsing table for following grammar.
    S → AA
    A → 0A
    A → ε

  3. 3.

    Explain the optimization techniques for code optimization. Convert the following program to basic block and control flow.
    M = A + B
    N = C + D
    IF (M > N)
    X = M – N;
    ELSE
    E = M + N + X
