Question 1

What is a key characteristic of a DPDA?

  • It can have multiple transitions for the same input.
  • It can only make one decision for each input.
  • It requires more memory than a PDA.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the meaning of determinism in automata.

Question 2

True or False: All context-free languages can be recognized by a DPDA.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the limitations of deterministic approaches.
