AQA 7517 4.4.3.1: Backus-Naur Form (BNF)/syntax diagrams

The free BugBot lessons that teach this point, a robot to try it on, and the past-paper questions that test it.

Lessons that teach it

  1. A6.5 Backus-Naur Form and syntax diagrams Theory of computation
    Production rules, syntax diagrams, a grammar for robot programs, recursive descent, and why BNF can describe what a regex cannot.
  2. A6.10 Project: the mission robot Theory of computation
    Validate a mission with a regular expression, carry it out with a Mealy machine, and report with sets.
