Many regular expression implementations contain additional operators or symbols beyond the three basis elements and three primitive operators covered during lecture. For the expressions below, write the equivalent regular expression using only the basis elements (empty set, empty string, single alphabet symbol) and the primitive operators (Union, Concatenation, and Kleene-closure). The expression a stands for any subexpression. For simplicity, assume the alphabet is {0, 1}. (a) . matches any single alphabet symbol (b) a? optionally matches a, i.e., matches a or empty string. (c) a+ matches one or more a's. (d) a{3} matches exactly three a's. (1 2)

Question
Many regular expression implementations contain additional operators or symbols beyond the three
basis elements and three primitive operators covered during lecture. For the expressions below, write
the equivalent regular expression using only the basis elements (empty set, empty string, single alphabet
symbol) and the primitive operators (Union, Concatenation, and Kleene-closure). The expression a
stands for any subexpression. For simplicity, assume the alphabet is {0, 1}.
(a) . matches any single alphabet symbol
(b) a? optionally matches a, i.e., matches a or empty string.
(c) a+ matches one or more a's.
(d) a{3} matches exactly three a's.
(e) a{1,3} at least one and at most three three a's.
