Consider the following expression grammar. The seman-tic rules for expression calculation are stated next to each grammar production.E → number E.val = number. val| E '+' E E(1).val = E(2).val + E(3).val| E '×' E E(1).val = E(2).val × E(3).valThe above grammar and the semantic rules are fed to a yacc tool (which is an LALR (1) parser generator) for parsing and evaluating arithmetic expressions. Which one of the following is true about the action of yacc for the given grammar?

Automata theory (also known as Theory Of Computation) is a theoretical branch of Computer Science and Mathematics, which mainly deals with the logic of computation with respect to simple machines, referred to as automata. Automata* enables scientists to understand how machines compute the functions and solve problems.
Theory of Computation is very important in compiler design as it helps in writing efficient algorithms, which help make efficient compiler construcion.
