Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a non-deterministic PDA for the language L={a^n b^n | n ≥ 0}. Explain your state transitions.

💡 Hint: Remember the flow from pushing to popping based on the inputs.

Challenge 2 Hard

Prove that there exists a context-free grammar for the language {a^n b^n | n >= 0}. What are the production rules?

💡 Hint: Construct derivations from the start symbol to involve balanced pairs.
