SLR Parsing
SLR (Simple LR) parsing is a method used by compilers to analyze the structure of code based on grammatical rules. It systematically reads the code from start to finish, using a table to decide whether to shift (move forward in the code) or reduce (apply a rule to simplify the code). SLR parsing helps ensure that the code follows the correct syntax, catching errors early. It balances efficiency with simplicity, making it suitable for programming languages that have clear and predictable grammar rules. Essentially, it automates understanding code structure to facilitate accurate compilation.
