Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Propose a language that is likely non-context-free and demonstrate using the Pumping Lemma why it fails the CFL conditions.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between 'n' counts in the language.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider L = {a^n b^n | n ≥ 0}. Use the Pumping Lemma to prove it is context-free.

💡 Hint: What symmetry does the pumping provide in character counts?
