This article is my key take away points from PythonKrit workshop, at Samskrit Bharti Bangalore during March 2025

Dr. Amba Kulkarni explains how ASHTADHYAYI by sage PAANINI is similar to computer programming and compiler design

ASHTADHYAYI is also Algorithm and Data structure. Class/Object has data and function. Paanini's DHTAATU list has name of DHAATU and "इत् प्रत्यय". Here "इत् प्रत्यय" indicates, which operation to be performed. We know the challenges with multiple inheritance in Object Oriented Programming. Prof. Ashvini Bhave shows how TADDHITTA indicates single inheritance. 

Sage PAANINI introduced a new data structure SHIVA-SUTRA. He rearranged all character and did slicing then perform Boolean operation that input character belongs to given list or not, given input set of character is subset or not. 

Meta language itself is part of ASHTADHYAYI .

Three types of rules

1. regular rules

2. context free rules

3. context sensitive rules

We use regular expression * for beginning AADI , UPAADHAA for set of characters in middle with [] and $ for end of line (ANTHA). 

We know yacc and bison tools are for context free grammar. If we write all PAANINI rules as per syntax of yacc and bison then we can analyze the complexity of PAANINI's ASHTADHYAYI  grammar. There are few non-formal aspects in ASHTADHYAYI, as it was written to understand by human brain, not by computer. 

Sage PAANINI was about 1500 years ahead of time compare to today's computing power.

Rules are like event in programming. To understand grammar one of the rule shall be evaluated, it is like firing an event. 

ANUVRUTI is similar to factorization in Maths.

                  List Tuple Dictionary

Ordered?         Yes Yes No

Mutable?         Yes No Yes

Different Data Types? Yes Yes Yes

Can be indexed?         Yes Yes Yes by keys

Syntax                 [] () {}

Duplicate elements? Yes Yes Yes, but key must be unique

• Both List and tuple supports: Slicing and skipping index
• Tuple is immutable, so faster
