You need to construct the correct LL tree form of the rules. Always copy
from a pre-written grammar in the examples or read the book and you will not
struggle so much:
factor
: addexp (('+'|'-')* addexp
;
addexp
: mulexp (('*'|'/') mulexp)*
;
mulexp
: '-' mulexp
| atom
;
atom
: NUMBER
| '(' factor ')'
;
