Question 4 Follow table Answers

[Jason Luu]

For the purposes of exam study I would like to know why the answers for the
follow table were what they were, given that:

<S> --> a <S> <S> a

One would expect the first of <S> to also be the follow of <S>, according to
the answer mailed to us:
First given as the solution is:
a b c d t v w x y z
<S> Y N Y N Y N N N N N

Follow given as the solution is:
---Follow-----
a b c d t v w x y z EOF
<S> Y N N N N N N N N N Y

I think the follow should have been:
---Follow-----
a b c d t v w x y z EOF
<S> Y N Y N Y N N N N N Y

I e-mailed Troy about this, too. You'd think that when everyone and their dog
got the follow table wrong, it would've been checked more carefully. Imagine
if this happened on a final where we never get a chance to see the solutions!
Oh, and for shameless extra useless keener points, my e-mail to Troy predates
your newsgroup post by 16 minutes. Mwuhahaha. :)
