>>12888604>Deterministic Finite Automatayou can learn what this is in 10 minutes
>Nondeterministic Finite Automatayou can learn what this is after the above in 1 minute
>Their equivalence,you can understand the proof in about 30 minutes and by drawing out examples
>, Pumping Lemma,just practice some stuff from sipser for 2 days and you're golden.
>Regular Expressionsnot hard at all if you understand regular langauges
>Properties of Regular Languagesnot hard if you understand basic proof mathematics. it's literally just unpacking the definition and writing out the intersection / other set theoretic properties
>CFLharder but doable, give it 3 days and practice some PDA constructions
>CFGsnot hard but tricky to simplify, spend 3 days on this
>PDAssee above
>all related properties even easier than regular languages. since they're more powerful, less can be said to strictly characterize them.
