characters, integers from a C file?

16.Write the actions of an LR Parse for the following string for the grammar
and parse table given below: aa1bbbb

Grammar:

S->B
A->aAb

A->0

B->1

B->aBbb

17.Generate the object code for following Assembly Language Program?


consider start address to be 4000.
