Exploring Regular and Context-Free Languages

What is a regular grammar?

• A regular grammar is used to define context-free languages.

• A regular grammar is a method for writing algorithms.

• A regular grammar is a type of formal grammar that generates regular languages.

• A regular grammar is a type of programming language.

Explain the equivalence between regular grammars and finite automata.

• Regular grammars and finite automata are equivalent in terms of the languages they can define and recognize.

• Finite automata can recognize context-sensitive languages.

• Regular grammars can only define context-free languages.

• Regular grammars are more powerful than finite automata.

What are the properties of regular languages?

• Regular languages are not closed under concatenation.

• Regular languages can only be recognized by Turing machines.

• Regular languages are closed under union, intersection, concatenation, and Kleene star; they can be represented by regular expressions and recognized by finite automata.

• Regular languages cannot be represented by regular expressions.

State Kleene's theorem and its significance.

• Kleene's theorem establishes the equivalence between regular expressions, finite automata, and regular languages.

• Kleene's theorem states that all languages are regular.

• Kleene's theorem defines the properties of context-sensitive languages.

• Kleene's theorem relates context-free grammars to Turing machines.

What is the Pumping Lemma for regular languages?

• The Pumping Lemma indicates that no string in a regular language can be repeated.

• The Pumping Lemma applies only to context-free languages, not regular languages.

• The Pumping Lemma states that all strings in a regular language are of the same length.

• The Pumping Lemma for regular languages states that any sufficiently long string in a regular language can be split into parts that can be 'pumped' (repeated) while still remaining in the language.

Define context-free languages (CFL).

• Context-free languages (CFL) are languages generated by context-free grammars, characterized by production rules with a single non-terminal on the left-hand side.

• Languages that can only be generated by finite automata

• Languages that require multiple non-terminals on the left-hand side

• Languages defined by regular expressions

What is a context-free grammar (CFG)?

• A context-free grammar (CFG) is a method for compiling code into machine language.

• A context-free grammar (CFG) is a set of rules for natural language processing.

• A context-free grammar (CFG) is a type of programming language.

• A context-free grammar (CFG) is a formal grammar that generates strings from a set of production rules.

Explain Chomsky normal form and its importance.

• Chomsky Normal Form (CNF) is a standardized form for context-free grammars that simplifies parsing and analysis.

• Chomsky Normal Form is irrelevant to computational theory.

• CNF is used exclusively for regular expressions.

• Chomsky Normal Form is a type of programming language.

What is Greibach normal form?

• Greibach normal form is a context-free grammar where each production rule is of the form A → aα, where A is a non-terminal, a is a terminal, and α is a (possibly empty) string of non-terminals.

• Greibach normal form requires all productions to start with a non-terminal.

• Greibach normal form is a context-free grammar with rules of the form A → αa.

• Greibach normal form is a type of regular expression.

How do parse trees represent context-free grammars?

• Parse trees do not show the relationships between grammar rules.

• Parse trees visually represent the structure of strings generated by context-free grammars.

• Parse trees are used exclusively for programming languages.

• Parse trees only represent regular expressions.
