Introduction A complement number is a mathematical concept used in various number systems, including binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal to represent negative numbers and perform arithmetic operations. Definition In digital systems, the complement of a number refers to the binary representation of the number’s inverse with respect to a base. Read more…
Introduction The number system is a form of expressing the different types of numbers used in an electronic or digital computer functioning. A Number System is a method to represent different types of numbers mathematically. It can use arithmetic operations to represent every number uniquely. To represent a number from a number system, Read more…

Terminology related to TOC 1. Alphabet (Σ) It is a finite, non-empty set of symbols. For example: Σ = {a, b} 2. String It is a finite sequence of symbols from an alphabet. For example: abba 3. Language (L) It is a set of strings over an alphabet. For example: Read more…
Difference between TOC in DFA and NFA Slno Similarities 1. Both are transition functions of automata. 2. Both have same power. 3. Slno DFA NFA/NDFA 1. Stands for “Deterministic Finite Automata”. Stands for “Non-deterministic Finite Automata”. 2. No empty string transitions occurs in DFA. Empty string transitions may also possible. Read more…
Introduction The concept of Chomsky Classification was developed by linguist Noam Chomsky in 1956. The Chomsky Classification is also known as the Chomsky hierarchy. Definition The Chomsky Classification is a hierarchy that categorizes grammars and languages into four types based on their generative power and computational models. The Chomsky hierarchy is a classification of Read more…
Introduction The Turing Machine (TM) was proposed by Alan Turing (1936). Definition A Turing Machine is an abstract machine or theoretical computational model that manipulates symbols on an infinite tape according to a set of rules. A Turing Machine is defined in a 7-tuple form: M=(Q,Σ,Γ,δ,q0,B,F) where, Q = Finite set of Read more…
Introduction A Context-Free Grammar (CFG) is a formal system that provides a precise way to define valid strings in a language. Definition A Context-Free Grammar (CFG) is a formal grammar used to define context-free languages, where each production rule has a single non-terminal on the left-hand side. A language is Read more…
