Syntax of The C Programming Language Cross-Refferences ASCII::= See /dick/samples/comp.text.ASCII.html Used_in The definition of C++ [ c++.syntax.html ] Used_in The definition of Java [ java.syntax.html ] Notation This uses my XBNF Extended BNF Notation where | indicates or, (...) indicates priority. For more information see [ intro_ebnf.html ] The following abbreviations are also used: O(_)::= 0 or 1 occurrences, N(_)::= 1 or more occurrence L(_)::= a comma separated list #(_)::= 0 or more occurrences. S(E,Op)::=serial_operator_expression(E, Op) serial_operator_expression(E,Op)::= E #(Op E). S(E,Op) = E Op E Op E Op ...
