I read about the CYK algorithm , and there is one piece of pseudocode that I cannot understand. All pseudo code:
let the input be a string S consisting of n characters: a1 ... an.
let the grammar contain r nonterminal symbols R1 ... Rr.
This grammar contains the subset Rs which is the set of start symbols.
let P[n,n,r] be an array of booleans. Initialize all elements of P to false.
for each i = 1 to n
for each unit production Rj -> ai
set P[i,1,j] = true
for each i = 2 to n
for each j = 1 to n-i+1
for each k = 1 to i-1
for each production RA -> RB RC
if P[j,k,B] and P[j+k,i-k,C] then set P[j,i,A] = true
if any of P[1,n,x] is true (x is iterated over the set s, where s are all the indices for Rs) then
S is member of language
else
S is not member of language
These parts confuse me:
for each production RA -> RB RC
if P[j,k,B] and P[j+k,i-k,C] then set P[j,i,A] = true
Will anyone give any hints of these pseudo codes?
