Values of the attributes are computed by semantic rules associated with the grammar productions. Syntax directed translation refers to a method of compiler implementation where the source language translation. It is not obvious how to do this, since the predictive parser works by building the parse tree topdown, while the syntax directed translation needs to be computed bottomup. The expression can be of type real, integer, array and records. It does not enforce a specific way of achieving the semantics.
