Hi,

Q1. A regular language is any (finite or infinite) set of (finite) strings? True

finite set: L= w | w is a set of 'a's less than 1000

inifinite set L= a^n | n >= 0

Q2. A non-regular language is any (finite or infinite) set of (infinite) strings? True

infinite set L= a^n . b^n | n>=0
finite set L=?

Some body please guide me if the true/false are correct and what is an example of a non-regular language having a finite set of infinite length strings?

Q1 is claiming that ANY set of finite strings is a regular language. So if you can find just one set of finite strings that is not a regular language, what does that tell you about the truth of that claim?

Can you think of a string that you know has an infinite number of characters in it? Hint: Math is littered with them.

Hi,
You have already told me that all finite languages are regular.
So its not possible.

What about Q2.

Zulfi.

 

There is a difference between saying that a regular language is a finite set of strings and saying that a finite set of strings is a regular language.

You also still are not grasping the critical distinction between all of the strings in a language being finite strings and the language being a finite language.

The set of Even Number is a set having an infinite number of members, but each member in that set is a finite string.

Can you not think of a single value that cannot be represented using a finite number of digits?

Hi,
What is the difference? Are both not regular?

Hi,

The set of all palindromes is an set of finite length strings. It is not a regular language.

The set of Even Number is a set having an infinite number of members, but each member in that set is a finite string.

22/7 (irrational numbers)

How can 22/7 be an irrational number when, by definition, irrational numbers are those than cannot be written as a ratio of two integers?
