A Reduce-Reduce Conflict is a caused when a grammar allows two or more different rules to be reduced at the same time, for the same token. When this happens, the grammar becomes ambiguous since a program can be interpreted more than one way. For instance, assume you have the following grammar:S ::= A | B A ::= Identifier B ::= Identifier When the system reads an identifier, it cannot determine if it has completed or. When a LALR parser generator is analyzing a grammar and constructing the parse tables, these conflicts are located immediately.

An ambiguity in a grammar. If, starting from the goal symbol, there are two or more ways to derive a pattern, and it is not clear how to distinguish one from another by using one symbol of lookahead, then there is a conflict. The parser generator must resolve this problem if the parsing algorithm is to be deterministic (without choices). There two types of conflicts: shift-reduce and reduce-reduce. In the case of the shift-reduce, precedence is given to the shift operation (the unfinished rule) instead of the reduce operation. In the case of the reduce-reduce, precedence is given to the earlier production in the grammar.
