Attributed Grammars

Attributed grammars are an extension of formal language grammar that include additional information called attributes, which store data about parts of a language construct. These attributes can be used to perform tasks like semantic analysis or code generation during the parsing process. Essentially, they allow a grammar to carry extra details alongside its rules, enabling a deeper understanding or transformation of the language being analyzed. This mechanism makes it easier for compilers and interpreters to process complex programming languages systematically and efficiently.
