Shift-Reduce Parsing

Shift-Reduce Parsing is a method used by computers to analyze sentences and understand their structure. It works by moving through a sentence word by word ("shift") onto a stack, then applying rules ("reduce") to combine these words into larger units, like phrases or clauses, based on grammar. This process continues until the entire sentence is recognized as a correct structure or not. Essentially, it's a step-by-step way for a computer to break down and interpret language, ensuring sentences follow grammatical rules.
