General syntax of sed: /pattern/action
a) / are used as delimiters
b) pattern refers to a regular expression
c) pattern refers to the string to be matched
d) action refers to the command
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: In the general syntax of sed, pattern is the regular expression and action refers to the command given (p: prints the line, d: deletes the line, etc).

Answer: d
Explanation: Homomorphism on an aphabet is a function that gives a string for each symbol in that alphabet. Example: h(0)=ab, etc.

a) NFA to DFA
b) Lazy DFA algorithm
c) Backtracking
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: There are at least three algorithms which decides for us, whether and how a regexp matches a string which included the transformation of Non deterministic automaton to deterministic finite automaton, The lazy DFA algorithm where one simulates the NFA directly, building each DFA on demand and then discarding it at the next step and the process of backtracking whose running time is exponential.

a) All Regular grammar are context free but not vice versa
b) All context free grammar are regular grammar but not vice versa
c) Regular grammar and context free grammar are the same entity
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Regular grammar is a subset of context free grammar and thus all regular grammars are context free.

L={ambmcm| m>=1}
a) Context free language
b) Regular language
c) Both (a) and (b)
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: d
Explanation: The given language is neither accepted by a finite automata or a push down automata. Thus, it is neither a context free language nor a regular language.

Statement: Every right-linear grammar generates a regular language.
a) True
b) False

Answer: a
Explanation: A CFG is said to right linear if each production body has at most one variable, and that variable is at the right end. That is, all productions of a right linear grammar are of the form A->wB or A->w, where A and B are variables while w is some terminal.

a) Root with no children is called a leaf
b) A node can have three children
c) Root has no parent
d) Trees are collection of nodes, with a parent child relationship
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: A node has atmost one parent, drawn above the node, and zero or more children drawn below. Lines connect parents to children. There is one node, one root, that has no parent; this node appears to be at the top of the tree. Nodes with no children are called leaves. Nodes that are not leaves are called interior nodes.
