Detailed explanation-1: -YACC stands for Yet Another Compiler Compiler. YACC provides a tool to produce a parser for a given grammar. YACC is a program designed to compile a LALR (1) grammar. It is used to produce the source code of the syntactic analyzer of the language produced by LALR (1) grammar.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yacc (yet another compiler compiler) is a grammar parser and parser generator. That is, it is a program that reads a grammar specification and generates code that is able to organize input tokens in a syntactic tree in accordance with the grammar.
