    Noam Chomsky created a hierarchy of formal grammars in the 1950s consisting of four types from most general (Type 0) to most restrictive (Type 3). Each type restricts production rules differently and generates different language classes recognizable by different automata, with context-free grammars (Type 2) used for most programming languages and regular languages (Type 3) recognizable by finite state automata.

    Chomsky Hierarchy (Additional Reading)

    In the 1950s, Noan Chomsky created a hierarchy of grammars.


    There are four categories of formal grammars in the Chomsky
    Hierarchy, spanning from Type 0, the most general, to Type 3, the
    most restrictive. Each layer is different in terms of the restriction
    applied to the production rules, the class of language it generates,
    the type of automation that recognizes it.
    Most programming languages are defined using Type 2 grammars,
    or Context-Free Grammars (CFG). In context-free grammars, all
    production rules must have only one (non-terminal) symbol on the
    left-hand side. It essentially means that regardless in which context

    m
    the non-terminal symbol appears, it should be also interpreted the

    e r as
    same way. Context-free grammars can be recognized

    co
    using pushdown automata.

    Another important type is Type 3 which describes Regular
    rs e
    Languages which can be recognized using Finite State Automation.
