Adjective
(en adjective)- An LR(k'') grammar is clearly unambiguous''', since the definition
implies every derivation tree must have the same handle, and by induc-
tion there is only one possible tree. It is interesting to point out further-
more that nearly every grammar which is known to be '''unambiguous is
either an LR(''k'') grammar, or (dually) is a right-to-left translatable
grammar, or is some grammar which is translated using "both ends to-
ward the middle." Thus, the LR(''k ) condition may be regarded as the most
powerful general test for nonambiguity that is now available.
