Notes on homework 1: For the derivation, you should follow the *pattern* of the example on p. 91. You are using the grammar of Fig. 3.3, so you still need to start with the start symbol of that grammar, Then each time replace exactly one nonterminal. For the grammar (#4), the *format* of your answer should be like Fig. 3.3. You'll have a list of productions which follow the EBNF format. You should start with a different start symbol, however, and the actual productions will be quite different. There is no magic correct number of productions -- the key is to be able to generate the desired ISBN numbers. So make sure your productions allow you to derive: ISBN 0-13-027678-2 ISBN 0-13-629841-9 ISBN 0-13-102857-X (the first is the ISBN of your book, the others are for other books from Prentice-Hall). The link on the homework should help explain the "X" at the end of the last example.
