Which of the following is transition function for NDFA . a) Q * Σ ->2^Q b) Q * Q -> Σ c) Σ * Σ -> Q d) Q * Σ -> Q Answer-a The transition function for NDFA is defined as δ: Q x ∑ →2^Q   5. δ*(q1,xy) is equivalent to . a) δ((q1,y),x) b) δ(δ*(q1,x),y) c) δ(q1,xy) d) None of these Answer:b 6. String w is accepted by finite automata if . a) δ(q0,w)|-*qf b) δ(qf,w)|-*q0 c) δ(q0,qf)|-w d) δ(qf,q0)|-w Answer:a Explanation

Mealy and Moore Machine

 Mealy Machine – A mealy machine is defined as 6 tuples (Q, q0, ∑, Δ, δ, λ’)  Q - finite non empty set of states  q0 - initial state  ∑-  input alphabet or terminals  Δ - output alphabet  δ - transition function δ:Q×∑ → Q  λ - output function λ: Q×∑→ O  Moore Machine – A moore machine is defined as 6 tuples (Q, q0, ∑, Δ, δ, λ’)  Q - finite non empty set of states  q0 - initial state  ∑-  input alphabet or terminals  Δ - output alphabet  δ - transition function δ:Q×∑ → Q  λ - output function λ: Q→O  1. Moore Machine is : a) FA without input b) FA with output c) NDFA with input d) None of the above Answer: b Explanation: Finite automaton with an output is  categorized in two parts: Moore M/C and Mealy M/C. 2.Which of the following is uesd as  output alphabet  in moore machine? a) δ b) ∆ c) ∑ d) None of the above Answer-b 3.Which of the following produce output for moore machine?  a) λ: Q→O b) λ: Q×∑→ O c) both a and b d) none of the above 4.The Output of Moore machine depends on a) only

Python

  Use the IDLE editor for a Python program with three functions: A function named square that accepts a number as an argument and returns the square of that number. (Remember, the square of a number is the number multiplied by itself. For example, 2 squared is 2 x 2 = 4.) A function named cube that accepts a number as an argument and returns the cube of that number. (Remember, the cube of a number is the number multiplied by itself twice. For example, 2 cubed is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.) A main function that uses a loop to display the numbers from 1 to 10, and their squares, and their cubes. The output should be formatted as a table as shown below. The main function must call the square function and the cube function to calculate the square and cube of each number. The output must be printed from the main function with column headings as shown below. The numbers in the columns should be right-aligned. Answer- #function named square that accepts a number as an argument and returns the square of t

Show that the language L = {awwR: w ∈ {a, b}*} is context-free.

  Show that the language L = {aww R : w ∈ {a, b} * } is context-free. Answer- A language is context free language if it is generated by context free grammar. Therefore we generate grammar for given language. If grammar generated by language is context free grammar then given language will be context free language.  Explanation A language is context free language if it is generated by context free grammar. Therefore we generate grammar for given language. If grammar generated by language is context free grammar then given language will be context free language.  Language L = {aww R : w ∈ {a, b} * } is context-free. Grammar for language(L)- Grammar(G) = (V, Σ, P, S)  Where  V = {S,A} Σ = {a, b}, P = {  S→ aA , A → aAa , A → bAb , A →ε  } S={S} Starting symbol of grammar. Context free grammar- A grammar(G) is context free grammar if it is defined as G = (V, Σ, P, S) where  V= is a set of non-terminal symbols. Σ= is a set of terminals P= Production rule  P: V → (V ∪ Σ)* S=is the start symb
