Tbnf (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! TBNF is an acronym for the phrase, "Translational BNF." BNF refers to Backus Normal Form which is a formal grammar notation used to define the syntax of computer languages, such as Algol, Ada, C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, Java, Perl, Python, and many others. TBNF goes beyond BNF and Extended BNF (EBNF) grammar notation because it not only defines the syntax of a language, but also defines the structure of the abstract-syntax tree (AST) to be created in memory and the output intermediate code to be generated. Thus TBNF defines the complete translation process from input text to intermediate code.
