Question
(15) Let M be the language over {a, b, c, d, e, f} accepting all strings so that:
1. There are precisely two e's in the string.
2. Every a is immediately followed by an even number of b's.
3. Every c is immediately followed by an odd number of f's.
b's and f's don't occur except as provided in rules 2 and 3.
5. All c's occur after the first e.
4.
6. All a's occur before the second e.
7. In between the two e's there are exactly twice as many c's as a's.
Construct a context-free grammar generating M. You do not need an inductive proof, but you
should explain how your construction accounts for each rule.
5)
We could eliminate one rule from M and make it regular. Which one? Why?
(5) Show that the class of context free languages is not closed under intersection by finding two
CFLS whose intersection is not a CFL.
