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 ...

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 ... Read More

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 = ...

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 ... Read More

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. ... Read More

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 ...

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 ... Read More

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 ...

Basically a push down automata (PDA) is as follows −“Finite state machine+ a stack”PDA has three components, which are as follows −An Input tape.A control unit.A Stack with infinite size.A PDA can be formally described as seven tuples(Q, Σ, S, δ, q0, I, F)Where, Q is finite number of statesΣ ...
