16.  Grammar revisited.
.PP
This section repeats the grammar of C
in notation somewhat different than 
given before.
The description below is adapted directly from a YACC grammar
actually used by several compilers;
thus it may (aside from possible editing errors)
be regarded as authentic.
The notation is pure YACC with the exception that
the `\(or' separating alternatives for a production
is omitted, since alternatives are always on separate lines;
the `;' separating productions is omitted since
a blank line is left between productions.
.PP
The lines with `%term' name the terminal symbols,
which are either commented upon or should be self-evident.
The lines with `%left,' `%right,' and `%binary'
indicate whether the listed terminals are left-associative,
right-associative, or non-associative,
and describe a precedence structure.
The precedence (binding strength)
increases as one reads down the page.
When the construction `%prec \fIx\fR'
appears
the precedence of the rule is that of the terminal
.It x;
otherwise
the precedence of the rule is that of its leftmost terminal.
