Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given L1 = {a^n b^n | n β‰₯ 0} and L2 = {b^n c^n | n β‰₯ 0}, analyze their intersection. Is it a CFL? Justify your answer.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on counts and how a CFG might represent them.

Question 2

Discuss a scenario where the non-closure under complement may pose problems while designing a compiler.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the compiler differentiates valid/invalid code.
