Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the language L = {0, 1}, generate the first six strings of the language L*.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start with the empty string and add repetitions step by step.

Question 2

Construct a CFG for a language L that generates the strings a^n b^n where n β‰₯ 0, and use it to derive the first three elements of L*.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how the CFG allows for variable numbers of repetitions.
