FOLLOWS(k) sets particularly for where k>1
FOLLOWS(k=1) I can do, but there's a monumental difference in implementing k=1 and k>1, unfortunately.
k is a convention used to indicate the number of lookahead symbols.

Hmmmm,
Found a paper from Oxford that describes how to construct first and follow sets for arbitrary k. He gives an example for LL(5).
The LL(f inite) strategy for optimal LL(k) parsing[^] by Peter Belcak
I can comprehend alot of very complicated things, but this paper is very hard to understand.

I was hoping for something with less math, but thanks.
I never went to uni, so my exposure to math formalisms is limited
Edit: Actually, that paper is very good. I don't understand all of it yet, but the author seems to be explaining the formalisms used so that I can potentially understand them. Thanks for the link!

You are welcome. 
For what it's worth... I e-mail postdoc and researchers all the time. I've e-mailed two universities this weekend asking to obtain their text corpus for my NLP project.
It doesn't hurt to e-mail the guy and ask if he has an implementation you can take a look at. Also... if you look in the bibliography at the bottom of the paper some of those links go to other parser projects.

You might try the Computer Science library of your local University. The librarian is likely to be able to refer you to appropriate books.

Yeah, and a lot of those assume a background in mathematics that I lack. I've gotten only so far with things like the dragon book.

Well,
I am not even kidding, the codeproject Lounge is probably the worse place to get help on science/technical issues. The lounge lizards will poke fun at anything they don't understand, gripe about everything under the sun and give you a list of every pseudo-celebrity that died this week.
You already know the C/C++ and C# languages (probably more) and I think you are selling yourself short if you think that you will be unable to understand logic notation[^]. Most of what is in that paper falls under tautology[^].
It might take a while but it's really just another language to learn.
If all these teenagers on Reddit can read/write formal logic[^] then I am sure you can too.
Best Wishes,

I do not think the Codewitch was exactly asking for help. Just describing a technical situation, as they have done before...

Out of curiosity, why are you doing LL(k) parsing and not LR(k) parsing in this project? I vaguely remember doing LL(1) and LL(2) parsing in college as an exercise and it was a royal nightmare to get right.
I think I still have my copy of the Dragon book.

LR(k) isn't realistic for k>1. The parse tables are too big, which is why nobody does it.
There is GLR parsing which overcomes that at the cost of non-determinism. It's a monster to use.
Furthermore, LL(k) is far easier for the end user to code against, since it's top down and not bottom up.
I'm actually attempting to use my LR(1) table gen code to help me make LL(k) for k>1 because my LR(1) code already generates a state machine for all the symbols in a grammar. I think I can use that state machine to resolve ambiguities I encounter at k=1.

Um. I have it on my Surface and ... it's pretty much the same as Win10 from a user perspective.
Once you've removed the stupid "centred taskbar" which does my head in because it's actually "centred in what's left when the stuff at the right had had a good chunk of it". Just looks stupid, and means things "move about" as you run apps.
Oh, and moving the "power" button to a stupid place as well.
Other than that it's really hard to spot any differences when it's in use ...

Once everyone has the TPM 2.0[^] the internet can be encrypted end-to-end. With the keys protected in the TPM content providers will be able to stream DRM protected media without fear of intellectual property theft. Video game producers will be able to provide a much safer gaming environment. Signed HTTP Exchanges[^] although still in the draft stage is currently supported in chromium based browsers. The old man-in-the middle problem will no longer be an issue.

Will the Windows Filtering Platform still be able to inspect packets?
The difficult we do right away...

Well,
Yes, of course. It would have been better to say that 'end-to-end encryption' can be verified.
As former member of the XBox team (2012-2014) I'd like to mention that some of the technologies that were added to the XBox One are proving to be very resilient against attacks on the machine... even with physical access. Keep an eye on the Microsoft Pluton processor[^]. The technologies that were created for protecting the XBox intellectual property will be coming to all future Windows PC beginning sometime around 2022.
The requirement for a TPM 2.0 is just a temporary stopgap, at sometime in the future the OS may require a Pluton.

yeah right. Meanwhile the Microsoft clowns continue to write gaping security holes...

Hello ,
I am working on a windows form using C# to get data from an application where its data is saved in an SQL tables and display the results in a DataGridView.
The Database of this application is installed sometimes locally and sometimes on an external server( depends on the customer requirements) and in all cases it creates a connection string in the registry.
So adding a connection string in the app.config file is not a best practice as we don't know when this DB is locally or external. and since the connection string is created in the registry , what is the best practice to get it from the registry and fetch the data and display them to the GridView.
We can use : string text = registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\myappname", "CONNECTIONSTRING"). and we create a query to the Db " Select *from tablex valueabc...
but how to display the values from the query to a datagridview
Thank you in advance
Jim .

Well, medical problems have gotten stronger(?), worse(?) and my short term and long term memory and keyboard control have all gotten much worse. Time to switch to something else....
