Design a TM to compute addition of two unary numbers
The unary input number n is represented with a symbol 0 n – times.Example4 → 00001 → 05 → 00000The separation symbol, „#‟ (any other special character) shall be used to distinguish between two or more inputs.For Example: 5, 2 are the inputs represented by 00000 # 00.AlgorithmStep 1 - Read the symbols of the first input with no replacements and move right.Step 2 - When the symbol = ‘#’, replace it by ‘0’ and move right.Step 3 - Traverse right side until the rightmost ‘0’ (left to B – last symbol)Step 4 - Replace the rightmost ‘0’ by BStep ...
Read MoreDistinguish between Finite Automata and Turing Machine
Before understanding the differences between the finite automata (FA) and the turing machine (TM), let us learn about these concepts.Finite AutomataFinite automata is an abstract computing deviceIt is a mathematical model of a system with discrete inputs, outputs, states and set of transitions from state to state that occurs on input symbol from alphabet ΣFinite Automata RepresentationFA can be represented as following in the theory of computation (TOC) −Graphical (Transition diagram)Tabular (Transition table)Mathematical (Transition function)Formal definition of Finite AutomataA Finite automata is a five tuplesM=(Q, Σ, δ, q0, F)Where, Q − Finite set called statesΣ − Finite set called alphabetsδ ...
Read MoreExplain the construction of finite and infinite language?
Firstly, let us learn about the infinite language and then understand how to construct the finite and infinite language in the theory of computation (TOC).Infinite languageThere is no bound on the length of any strings in an infinite language.There is no bound on any number of derivation steps used to derive the strings also.For example, if the grammar has n productions, then any derivation consisting of n + 1 steps uses some production twice.If the language is said to be infinite, then some production or sequence of productions must be used repeatedly to construct the derivationsExampleThe infinite language {anb | ...

AlgorithmStep 1 - If there is no input, reach the final state and halt.Step 2 - If the input = “a‟, then traverse forward to process the last symbol = “a‟. Convert both a‟s to B‟.Step 3 - Move left to read the next symbol.Step 4 - If the input = “b‟, replace it by B and move right to process its equivalent “B‟ at the rightmost end.Step 5 - Convert the last ’b’ to ‘B’.Step 6 - Move left and process step 2 – 5 until there are no more inputs to process.Step 7 - If the machine reaches ...
Read MoreExplain type 2 grammar with properties
Type 2 grammars are context free grammars (CFG).All productions are of the form −A → x — where A is nonterminal, x is a string of nonterminal and terminals, A context-free grammar is equivalent to a pushdown automaton (PDA) and to context free languages.Example − Pushdown Automaton (PDA)PropertiesA grammars, G = (V, T, P, S) is said to be context free if the production rule is of the form, A → α .The transition allows A → ε [i.e., α → ε] where, A is a non terminal symbol α is any terminal or non-terminal symbol.Here, the left hand side of ...

AlgorithmStep 1: Process the leftmost „a‟ and replace it by „x‟.Step 2: Move right until the leftmost „b‟ is reached. Replace it by „y‟.Step 3: Move right until the leftmost „c‟ is reached. Replace it by „z‟.Step 4: Move left to reach the leftmost „a‟ and perform steps 1, 2 and 3 (n – 1) times.Step 5: Halt if there are „n‟ number of x, y, z.Turing Machine for the given language is as follows −The Turing machine, M is given by M = (Q, Σ, Γ, δ, q0, B, F)Where, Q = {q0, q1, q2, q3, q4, q5}Σ = ...
Read MoreExplain formal definition of language with examples in TOC?
The set of all strings (over terminal symbols) which can be derived from the start symbol is the language generated by the grammar G.Example 1Let grammar G be defined by the set of terminals T = {a, b}, the only non-terminal start symbol S and the set of production rules. Hence, the grammar G would be as follows −S → ∧, S → aSbOr in shorthand, it is as mentioned below −S → ∧ | aSbL(G) = {∧, ab, aabb, aaabbb, . . . }DefinitionIf G is called as a grammar with start symbol S and set of terminals T, ...
Read MoreWhat is type 3 grammar? Explain its properties
Type 3 grammars are regular grammars that describe regular / formal languages.These grammars contain production rules consisting of the following −Only one non-terminal at the left hand side, The right hand side has a single terminal and may or may not be followed by non terminals.ExampleA → ε , A → a, A → b, A → aA etc.TypesThere are two types of regular grammars namely −Right linear / Right regular grammarLeft linear / Left regular grammarLet us learn about these two types of grammar in detail.Right linear grammarThis is a regular grammar with the production rules of the formA ...
Read MoreWhat are the basic properties of products in TOC?
It is easy to see that for any language L the following simple properties hold −L · {∧} = {∧} · L = LL · ∅ = ∅ · L = ∅Now let’s see the commutativity and associativity of the operation of concatenation.Properties of products – commutativityThe operation of concatenation is not commutative. In other words, the order matters!Given two languages L and M, it’s usually true thatL · M ≠ M · LExampleIf L = {ab, ac} and M = {a, bc, abc}, then the productL · M is the languageL · M = {aba, abbc, ababc, aca, acbc, ...
Read MoreExplain the technique for combining two languages in TOC?
There are three common ways of creating a new language from two languages −UnionIntersectionProductLanguages are sets of strings, so they can be combined by the usual set operations of union and intersection.IntersectionIf L1 and L2 are languages over ∑, then L1 ∩ L2 is the language of strings in both L1 and L2 .For example, If L = {aa, bb, ab} and M = {ab, aabb} then, The intersection is as follows −L ∩ M = {ab}AndUnionIf L1 and L2 are languages over the alphabet ∑, then the language L1 ∪ L2 is the language of all strings in at ...
