Explanation

In compiler theory, parsing is the process of determining the grammatical structure of a sequence of tokens. The two primary strategies for this are top-down parsing, which builds the parse tree from the root down to the leaves, and bottom-up parsing, which starts from the leaves and works up to the root. These two methods cover the vast majority of parsing algorithms used in computer science.
