Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does the start symbol [q0 Z0 qf] in a CFG denote?

  • It starts from the final state
  • It captures the transition from the initial state with initial stack symbol
  • It represents an arbitrary state

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what the start symbol represents in terms of configuration.

Question 2

True or False: Every PDA can be converted to an equivalent CFG.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the fundamental link between the two frameworks.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a PDA that accepts the language L = {a^n b^n | n >= 0}, outline the steps to construct a corresponding CFG, detailing the necessary production rules.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the stack transitions as your guide.

Question 2

How can you determine whether the constructed CFG from a PDA truly generates the same language? Provide a systematic approach to verify their equivalence.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the properties of the languages interact with the definitions.
