FIRST Set and FOLLOW Set for Grammar Worked Example

FOLLOW SET Rules:


Rule 1) Follow(S) = {$} #Start symbol
Rule 2) If A → αB then Follow(B) = Follow(A)
Rule 3) If A → αBβ,
• If ∈ ∉ First(β), then Follow(B) = First(β)
• If ∈ ∈ First(β), then Follow(B) = { First(β) – ∈ } ∪ Follow(A)

Production Rules Example Grammar:


E -> TE’
E’ -> +T E’|Є
T -> F T’
T’ -> *F T’ | Є
F -> (E) | id

Find FOLLOW(E):
E -> TE’ # Rule 1 Ans: Follow (E) = {$}
F -> (E)|id # Rule 2 Ans: Follow (E) = {)}
Answer: Follow(E) = {$, )}

Find FOLLOW(E’):
E -> TE’ # Rule 2 Ans: Follow (E’) = Follow (E)
E’ -> +TE’|Є # Rule 2 Ans: Follow (E’) = Follow (E’) #ignore
Answer: Follow (E’) = Follow (E)
Follow(E’) = {$,)}
Find FOLLOW(T):
E -> TE’ # Rule 3 Ans: Follow (T) = First(E') - Є U Follow (E)
E’ -> +TE’|Є # Rule 2 Ans: Follow (T) = Follow (E')
Answer: Follow (T) = {First(E’) – Є} U Follow (E’) U Follow (E)
Follow(T) = {+,$,)}
Find FOLLOW(T’):
T -> FT’ # Rule 2 Ans: Follow (T’) = Follow (T)
T’ -> *FT’|Є # Rule 2 Ans: Follow (T’) = Follow (T') #ignore
Answer: Follow (T’) = Follow (T)
Follow(T)= {+, $,)}
Find FOLLOW(F):
T -> FT’ # Rule 3 Ans: Follow (F) = FIRST(T') - Є U Follow (T)
T’ ->*FT’|Є # Rule 2 Ans: Follow (F) = Follow (T')
Answer: Follow (F) = {First(T’) – Є} U Follow (T) U Follow (T’)
Follow(F)= {*,+,$,)}
FIRST set:
First(E) = First (T) = { ( , id }
First (E’) = { +, Є }
First (T) = First (F) = { ( , id }
First (T’) = { *, Є }
First (F) = { ( , id }
FOLLOW Set:
Follow(E) = { $, ) }
Follow (E’) = { $, ) }
Follow (T) = { +, $, ) }
Follow (T’) = { +, $, ) }
Follow (F) = { *, +, $, ) }
