What does the Pumping Lemma state about context-free languages?
💡 Hint: Remember that the lemma helps check properties of larger strings.
True or False: If a string violates the Pumping Lemma, it must be a context-free language.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider the language L={x^n y^n z^n | n ≥ 0}. Use the Pumping Lemma to argue why this language is not context-free.
💡 Hint: Analyze different positions for the segments and how pumping affects their equality.
Create a context-free grammar for the language L={a^n b^n | n ≥ 0}. Then show how it satisfies the conditions of the Pumping Lemma.
💡 Hint: Consider constructing derivation trees and how they allow for pumped strings.
