Which of the following will not be accepted by the following DFA?

• ababaabaa

A formal language is a set of strings, each string composed of symbols from a finite set called.

• Alphabet

A Finite Automaton with null moves (FA-ε) does transit not only after giving input from the alphabet set but also without any input symbol. This transition without input is called a.

• Null Move

A may or may not read an input symbol, but it has to read the top of the stack in every transition.

• PDA

In the Chomsky Hierarchy:

• Regular Language ⊂ Context-sensitive Language
• Regular Language ⊃ Context-sensitive Language
• Regular Language| • |Context-sensitive Language
• Regular Language = Context-sensitive Language

A nested if-then statement is one of these:

• If w then x if y then z
• If w if x then y then z
• If w then if x then y else z
• All of the choices are examples of nestedness

In mathematical notation, the symbol → means...

• implication
• an element of
• not an element of
• assignment statement

All relations are functions

• True
• False

The cardinality of the union of two disjoint sets is less than the sum of the cardinality of the given sets.

• True
• False

__ is a finite set of symbols called the alphabet.

• Σ

Is the initial state from where any input is processed (q0 ∈ Q).

• q0

All functions are relations

• True
• False

An indirect way of building a CFG is to _____________

• build a regular expression and then construct a PDA from it, and then construct CDF from it
• You can only build a CFG directly
• build a PDA and then construct a CFG from it
• none of the given choices

Labeled by the start symbol.

• Root Vertex

It is a unary operator on a set of symbols or strings, that gives the infinite set of all possible strings of all possible lengths.

• Σ *

Production Rule: aAb->agb belongs to which of the following category?

• Context Sensitive Language

The language L contains all strings over the alphabet {a,b} that begin with and end with

• a,b

|-* is the closure of |-

• Transitive and Reflexive

The string abe is accepted by this regular expression.

• a*b*c*a*d*
• a+b+c+d+e*
• a*b*c*a*d*e+
• a+b+c+d+

For a regular expression 'a', we can construct the following FA:

• TRUE

Labeled by a non-terminal symbol.

• Vertex

Context-free grammars are more expressive than finite automata; if a language L is by a finite automata then L can be blank by a context-free grammar.

• Accepted

A __________ of a derivation is a tree in which each internal node is labeled with a nonterminal.

• parse tree

If A = {3, 4, 6, 8} and

• { 4,6}

Language may be derived from other strings using the productions in a grammar.

• FALSE

Identify the modeling recognition of the word "then"

• Start State

A DPDA is a PDA in which

• No state p has two outgoing transitions

The recursive inference procedure determines that string w is in the language of the variable A, A being the starting variable.

• TRUE
