Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Prove whether L = {a^n b^n c^n | n ≥ 0} is context-free using the Pumping Lemma. Make considerations for potential strings and divisions.

💡 Hint: Look closely at how the pumping disrupts balances.

Challenge 2 Hard

For L' = {a^i b^j c^k | i + j + k > 0}, show that it is context-free by constructing a grammar or PDA.

💡 Hint: Think about how you can derive strings by allowing freedom in each section.
