It's been a few years since my computer-language class and so I've forgotten the finer points of BNF's and EBNF's and I don't have a textbook next to me. Specifically, I've forgotten how to convert an EBNF into BNF.
From what little I remember, I know that one of the main points is to convert { term }
into <term> | <many-terms>
. But I don't remember the other rules. I've tried to look this up online but I can only find links to either homework questions, or a small comment about converting terms with curly braces. I can't find an exhaustive list of rules that define the translation.
Please see the following link, it contains instructions for each production that needs to be converted:
