Parse Trees

A parse tree is a visual diagram that shows how a sentence or a piece of code is broken down according to grammar rules. Think of it as a family tree for language, where each branch represents a part of the sentence, like nouns or verbs, and how they fit together. It helps computers understand the structure and meaning of language, ensuring that sentences are interpreted correctly. Parse trees are used in programming language compilers, natural language processing, and other areas that require analyzing complex structures systematically.
