Bottom-up parser:

  • The “LR” parser is the bottom-up manner because, they construct a parse tree from the leaves up, recognizing when a collection of leaves can be joined together as the children of a single parent.
  • It attempts to reduce the input string to start symbol of a grammar.
  • It first looks at the lowest level of the parse tree and works up the parse tree by using the rules of grammar.

Top-down parser:

  • The “LL” parser is the top-down manner because, they construct a parse tree from the root down.
  • It is attempt to find the leftmost derivations for an input string.
  • It first looks at the highest level of the parse tree and tree by using the rules of grammar, it works down the parse.
