  1. the program does not work for all types of grammer..it has limitations....
    please update your program...
    example
    S aBDh
    S DEF
    B cC
    C bC
    D EF
    E g
    E ^
    F f
    F ^

    this type of grammer does not work in your program..

    by the ways good job for simple grammer

  3. I am running this program in Ubuntu:

    cfg.c: In function ‘main’:
    cfg.c:78:19: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]
    str[0]=NULL;
    ^
    cfg.c:83:13: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’ [enabled by default]
    exit(1);
    ^
    cfg.c:88:24: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]

    1. no need...i solved it...
      set NULL=0
      add stdlib.h (header file)
