I got one link to the ANSI C Grammar

However, I don't know how to understand this grammar. I am
not a Computer Science Guy.
OK, then I'm going to be that you won't be able to understand almost any
sensible expression of the C grammar.
The link you posted is to an /implementation/ of the C grammar, as a YACC ('Yet
Another Compiler Compiler") parse grammer. YACC's grammar is similar to (and
extended from) the standard Backus-Naur Form (aka BNF) grammar that is standard
in "Computer Science" for describing these sorts of things (language grammars,
etc.). You'll have to learn BNF, if you want to read /any/ grammar.
Can anybody please help me
about how to understand this grammar. Is there any good book
on this ?
For the link you gave, you might try
"lex & yacc" by John R. Levine, Tony Mason & Doug Brown,
Copyright (c) 1990, 1992, O'Reilly & Associates
ISBN 1-56592-000-7
Or anybody knows about some link from where a
beginner like me start of ?
Google is your friend....

and so on.
Search for "bnf grammar" or "yacc grammar"
Thanx for any help in advance ...
