About this MCQ
This Medium Theory of Computation (Automata) MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “In computer science, Formal language refers to which of the following?”
The accepted answer is C. A set of strings composed of symbols from a defined alphabet.. In computer science Formal language refers to which of the following is answered by A set of strings composed of symbols from a defined alphabet option C Option A The concept where a DFA and an NFA are considered equivalent because they recognize exactly the same class of languages does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A set of strings composed of symbols from a defined alphabet Option B A grammar for which some string can be generated by more than one distinct derivation tree does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A set of strings composed of symbols from a defined alphabet Remaining.
- A. The concept where a DFA and an NFA are considered equivalent because they recognize exactly the same class of languages.
