Question 1

What is a recursive language?

A language with no strings
A language where a TM provides a definitive answer
A language that cannot be enumerated

💡 Hint: Remember the capability of Turing Machines.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a language L such that all strings include the pattern 'abc'. Is the complement of L recursive or RE? Justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Think about how Turing Machines handle patterns in strings.

Challenge 2 Hard

Develop a proof outline that if L is recursive, both L and its complement can be enumerated. Explain what this means for computability.

💡 Hint: Focus on constructing logical sequences using TM abilities.
