= Operator grammar
{wiki=Operator_grammar}
Operator grammar is a type of formal grammar that focuses on the manipulation and transformation of strings in a formal language. It was introduced by the linguist and computer scientist J. E. Hopcroft and is particularly associated with the study of syntax in natural languages and programming languages. In operator grammar, structural rules are defined through the use of "operators." These operators can manipulate strings based on specific patterns or structures, allowing for the generation and recognition of valid strings in the language.
