I'm trying to understand how to construct a SLR parse table and am
having difficulty building the canonical set of items. The dragon
book shows an algorithm, then magically generates the entire canonical
set. I don't know how the I(n) items are generated from I(1) and
can't determine how the 'dot' is placed. I know how to find the
closure, but after that, things get a bit fuzzy. A simple example
showing all the steps might clear up any problem that I have. Any
help is appreciated with these questions.


Thanks,
Michael Mstowski
