Question 1

What does the Pumping Lemma state?

All languages are regular.
A regular language can be divided into parts that can be pumped.
Every language is non-regular.

💡 Hint: Think of what the lemma allows us to do.

Question 2

If a language does not satisfy the Pumping Lemma, what can we infer?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Prove that the language L = {a^n b^m c^k | n = m = k} is not regular using the Pumping Lemma.

💡 Hint: Focus on the symmetry and how pumping alters counts.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a proof for why L = {w | w is a palindrome} isn't regular using specific strings.

💡 Hint: Consider how a palindrome's symmetry breaks down when altering the center or edges.
