CS402 Question No: 27 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Diffrentiate between Regular and Non regular languages?
Ans:
The main difference between regular and non regular language are as:
1. The regular language is that language which can be expressed by RE is known as regular language whereas any language which can not be expressed by RE is known as non regular language.
CS402 Question No: 28 ( M a r k s: 2 )

There are some halts states in PDA which are as:

- Reject state is like dead non final state.
- Accept state is like final state.
CS402 Question No: 30 ( M a r k s: 2 )

S -> ABAB
A -> a | /\
B-> b | /\
CS402 Question No: 31 ( M a r k s: 3 )
Describe the POP operation and draw symbol for POP state in context of Push down stack.
CS402 Question No: 32 ( M a r k s: 3 )
What does the the following tape of turing machine show?
Ans:
Arbitrary Summary Table:
The arbitrary summary table shows the trip from READ9 to READ3 does not pop one
letter form the STACK it adds two letters to the STACK.
Row11 can be concatenated with someother net style sentences e.g. row11 net(READ3, READ7, a)Net(READ7, READ1, b)Net(READ1, READ8, b) it gives the non terminal Net(READ9, READ8, b),
The whole process can be written as:
Net(READ9, READ8, b) ?Row11Net(READ3, READ7,a) Net(READ7, READ1, b)Net(READ1, READ8, b)
This will be a production in the CFG of the corresponding row language.
CS402 Question No: 33 ( M a r k s: 3 )

CS402 Question No: 34 ( M a r k s: 5 )
Consider the Context Free Grammar (CFG)
S à0AS | 0
A àS1A | SS | 1a

Consider the language L which is EVEN-EVEN, defined over Σ = {a,b}. In how many classes does L may partition Σ*. Explain briefly.
CS402 Question No: 36 ( M a r k s: 5 )
What are the conditions (any five) that must be met to know that PDA is in conversion form?
Ans:
Conversion form of PDA:
A PDA is in conversion form if it has following conditions:
1. The PDA must begin with the sequence
2. There is only one ACCEPT state.
3. Every edge leading out of any READ or HEREstate goes directly into a POP state.
4. There are no REJECT states.
5. All branching, deterministic or nondeterministic occurs at READ or HERE states.
6. The STACK is never popped beneath this $symbol.
7. No two POPs exist in a row on the same path without a READ or HERE.
8. Right before entering ACCEPT this symbol is popped out and left.
