EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form)

EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form) is a precise way to describe the structure of languages, especially programming languages. It uses symbols and rules to show how different parts of the language are arranged, similar to a recipe. EBNF makes it easier to understand and write the syntax by using extensions like repetition, options, and grouping, improving clarity over basic notation. This helps developers and language designers create consistent language specifications and understand how code should be formatted or interpreted. Overall, EBNF provides a clear, formal way to specify language syntax efficiently.
